In short, Yes.
The most recent evidence shows that some dinosaur types did evolve into Birds. Some others may have evolved into other forms of life we have today.
The more evidence that we find, the less sure we are that 'dinosaurs' evolved into only one form of life.
Birds may in fact be the descendants of a 'maniraptoran' dinosaur. However it is not known at this time if other forms of dinosaurs evolved into other animals that we have today.
Crocodiles, alligators and tuatara are all descended from species which would now be termed dinosaurs.

∙ 12y agoWell, technically, all organisms are related to each other.
A better question is, what are the dinosaurs closest relatives?
Birds are dinosaurs for a start, they are a members of the group dinosauria.
Crocodilians are the closet relatives to birds and dinosaurs that are alive today.
The closest living animals related to the dinosaurs are the birds, since they them selves are dinosaurs. Palaeontologists have determined that birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs.
The extinct pterosaurs may be more closely related to the dinosaurs than crocodilians are, but their evolution isn't very well understood.
Elephants and the extinct mammoths are NOT closely related to dinosaurs.
Elephants are mammals.
