Very few traditions maintain that Mary has any Children herself after Jesus. Most maintain that they were from Joseph, step-children in modern language. It is a VERY old belief that she did not have any other children herself.Mother Mary had other children, right?

Yes, there were several so probability says they did have children.Does Jesus' sisters and brothers have descendants?

does it mean Joseph marry other woman?Well, different Traditions believe different things about what the scripture actually means when we read "brothers and sisters of Jesus". Some think they were cousins or similar relations, others think it means the actual step-siblings. I tend to agree with actual step-siblings.
That said, the family line cannot be traced to today either way as far as I am aware. But there is a tradition in some traditions that the decedents of James (the brother of Jesus) were the head of the church in Jerusalem for some time.

Tradition states that Joseph was a widower with adult children of his own when he and Mary were betrothed.does it mean Joseph marry other woman?
polygamy allowed in Jewish tradition?
Not really by that time, but it was allowed in the distant past. As @prodromos said, generally it is held that Joseph had children from a previous marriage where the wife passed away.does it mean Joseph marry other woman?
polygamy allowed in Jewish tradition?
Yes. When you read in the Gospels how His brothers intrract with Him, it is consistent with them being older. If Jesus was the eldest then He would have had authority over His brothers, not just because of His age but especially because they would have grown up in the shadow of the perfect older brother. His love and compassion, and His wisdom would have had a deep and lasting impression on them.You mean Mary was Joseph second wife?
So Jesus was the youngest in the family?
That is because they were no longer children, they were adultsI don't agree with you, the story Nativity of did not mention Joseph and Mary carried the baby with other children.
I don't know that a righteous man like Joseph, would consider putting his 'seed' into the same womb where God Almighty had just spent 9 months. Centuries earlier, God had made His abode in the Ark of the Covenant, and it was considered so holy that no one could even touch itIMary is free to conceive other children after the birth of Jesus.
There is nothing wrong for her to sleep with Joseph.
When do you believe the Bible states they had other children? When Jesus was left at the Temple in Jerusalem as a young boy there are still no other children mentioned. I would be careful about accusing others of being unbiblical when your own claims have no biblical basis.What you said is not Biblical.
Joseph and Mary and baby Jesus traveled alone to Egypt, no other children followed them.
Jesus' other siblings were born in Nazareth after they had come back.
Well, I mean, they did develop traditions about it: "James the brother of Jesus".It’s crazy traditions didn’t develop saying XXXX is the brother Jesus, or even step-brother. Look at the Gnostics. They made fabrications. Wonder why no one ever fabricated being a descendant of Joseph or Mary.
