Both places are clearly a mistake.
The primary source for St. Anne is the Protoevangelium of James. It has nothing so exotic as this.

Her parents also seem to be a nice bit of Geni fantasy. There are some theories and guesses but these aren't even in the mainstream.
From Congregation of the Sisters of the Catechesis of Saint Anne:
Descendence: Anna was originally from the tribe of Judah from the lineage of David. Like the descendants, they could only contract marriage with women of the same tribe, according to the law and in the fulfillment of the same one, Saint Joaquim took her like wife.
Santa Ana died before Mary married to St. Joseph, at the age of eighty-nine, and was buried in Jerusalem next to St. Joachim.
Wikipedia (in portuguese is a little bit different):
"They were residents in Jerusalem, next to the pool of Bethesda, where today stands the Basilica of Santana; and there, on a Saturday, September 8, 20 BCE, the daughter was born to them, named Miriam, who in Hebrew means "Lady of Light", passed to the Latin as Mary. Mary was offered to the Temple of Jerusalem at the age of three, and remained there until the age of twelve.
Through the text Cave of the Treasures, attributed to Ephrem of Syria*, Ana (Hannâ) was daughter of Pâkôdh and its husband was called Yônâkhîr. Yônâkhîr and Jacob were sons of Matã and Sabhrath. Jacob was the father of Joseph, so Joseph and Mary were cousins."
