I don't think that meant blood brothers and sisters? And why did they want to make Mary into a perfect being that is god like? What was their goal for that? An why did it take hundreds of years till 1950 for them to decide that?

I wrote about this in another post. It's the 4th question: https://voat.co/v/whatever/1851237/9084147
Wrote about this too. It's question 3: https://voat.co/v/whatever/1851237/9084147
I'll be investigating this more in depth for you later and hopefully provide you some good sources, but here's my current understanding of it:
They have a thing in Roman Catholicism called "incorruptibility", where they believe that the bodies of saints don't decompose after death, decomposition or "corruption" being the result of sin. This extends to perfection not having to die at all. So more and more people were asking that if Mary was perfect, why she had to die. Their response was making the "assumption of Mary" official Roman Catholic dogma in 1950, with Pope Pius XII invoking "papal infallibility" on the matter.
