4. It just says that he was of the lineage of David,

not that he grew up in Bethlehem and still had immediate family living there. His great great great great grandfather could have been the last person in his direct line who actually lived in Bethlehem.

If all the descendants of my great great grandfather, Julius Hemmann, who came over here from Saxony on a ship 150 years ago, had to go back there all at the same time, the town would be very crowded and I certainly wouldn't have anyone to stay with.
