Are there any modern day descendants of Johann Sebastian Bach?
There are plenty of descendants from the Handel line, but none from the composer himself are known - he never married and died without any recognized heirs. That isn't to say that there *couldn't* be any - my own father was told as a child that his family was descended from the composer. If Handel did indeed father a child/children out of wedlock, then it was kept very quiet, since there are no official records.
