Almost certainly, but there isn't any reliable way of finding out who or where they are.

Probably, there were various dynasties of royalty in ancient Egypt, some of the offspring and grandchildren would have married other people, not just their close relatives, and some pharaohs had several wives and a lot of children, Rameses II allegedly had a huge number of children. It seems likely to me that when there was a change of ruling family, that didn't necessarily mean all the descendants of previous kings had died out, but they might lie low if they thought a claim to the throne would put their lives in danger. So there there are most likely people descended from pharaohs that lived 2.5 - 5 thousand years ago who have no idea of their illustrious ancestors.

Well first off ...
"As far as i know the Pharaohs had small families and not many wives like other cultures"
Wow that was wrong. They had many wives and huge families. Ramesses had over 60 children ... not sure why they would name a condom after that guy.
Additionally, by the very basic laws of math there would have to be a descendant of at least one Pharoah. If there were over 100 Pharaoh and each had at least 3 kids (and it's more like 10+each) and at least one or two survived and they had 2 kids, and so on then there are millions of people who are considered to have a small ancestry to at least one Pharoah.

As far as i know the Pharaohs had small families and not many wives like other cultures there was a lot of pharaohs i am sure the blood line of some is still there but well diluted due to interbreeding with other cultures and races of people

Without Question
If Africa had a DNA data base as Britain and the states then it would not be that hard to find them.
I have read that 160 million people alive today are direct descendent of Genghis Khan, And many carry the Mongolian (blue) birth mark on there butts.

Certainly. Any one person living at that time anywhere on earth has a good chance of being the ancestor of every single person on earth today. On the other hand, there is no established genealogy that can take European royal families back to ancient (whether Roman or Egyptian) families.

Yes, thank the Gods I can finally reveal myself. My name is Lucian Redleaf - the decendent of the last known pharoah of the 21st Dynasty, Psusennes II. Whew, glad to have that off my chest!

Probably, but not even they themselves know.
I wonder if DNA tests would be useful in finding out if that would be worthwhile.
