Let's put this question and its answer crystal clear. First of all, if you're going to believe the Bible, which is the record in this case, Jesus never married and therefore never had children. He was born, lived, ministered to the public for about 3 years, was crucified, resurrected, and then ascended into Heaven. There is no marriage involved, although He did go to a wedding in Cana where he performed His first miracle. Therefore, there are no children, and no descendants.
Jesus did have Mary as His earthly mother. He was not actually Joseph's son, but we do know Mary and Joseph had children. They would have been Jesus' half-brothers/sisters.
Also, the information in The DaVinci Code is hotly open to debate. The historical "evidence" that Jesus was married is lacking. I'm not prepared to answer this side of the debate, but you might read some critical books on the subject. So, please don't assume there are descendants based upon that book.
Finally, in a spiritual sense, any born-again Christian is in the family of God. We're never called Jesus' children, but we are kinda His brothers and sisters. Matthew 12:50 (KJV) says, "For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in Heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother." We're God's children, and Jesus' brethren, but not His children, either spiritually or directly, and there are no actual earthly descendants.

Have you searched the Bible? It gives a line of descendents
of those leading up to Jesus. For example, King David of Israel
is in the "line" of descendents of Jesus. He was a man after
God's own heart. I believe the books of the New Testament and
the book of Numbers in the Old Testament tells us of these
people. Jesus never married, so He has no descendents today,
but He is the Lord God. And we are His "children" as followers
of Christ. His earthly parents Mary & Joseph are descendents
of David. This is why they had to go to Bethlehem and register -
because they were of the line of David.

But it says in the Bible that Jesus had brothers and sisters (probably half brothers/sisters, cause I'm sure Joseph and Mary had kids after Jesus was born), so that's probably what the original poster was asking about. In that case, I don't know.
However, in a spiritual sense, Jesus says that whoever listens and does the will of God is his brother, sister, mother, etc., so if you do what Jesus taught, then you are a descendent :) And if anyone tries to tell you otherwise, well, Jesus also warned about false prophets and the Devil trying to lead us away from God.

I don't think he had any children. However I have heard scientists say on programs that he could have married Mary Magdaline and had a daughter and her statue is in a church in France or some place. While it sounds good, I don't think that is the case. I never heard in all my born days that Jesus had children. That would make him just like everyone else. I'd prefer to think of him as not ordinary. I honestly feel he did not have any children.

There are NO direct decendents of Jesus. Mary (the Holy Virgin Mary) was a virgin before, during and after His birth, so there are no brothers and/or sisters.
He never married so no biological children.

IIIIIF the DaVinci Code hypothetically was correct than someone related to French Royalty who heals and can talk to animals might be related to Jesus and remember the Holy Roman Empire which France was part of and Charlemagne ruled could also possibly be related to him, however since all this is drawn out hypothetical it is about 99.9% there are no descendants directly thru Jesus, but it is possible thru brothers and sisters, but I don't think, since they were not conceived by God, but by humans, they still probably don't have descendants related to Jesus BUT REMEMBER ONE THING, TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION. And the more the Catholic church complains about something the more I think something is worth investigating, you know what kind of history they have

As far as I can understand, no one is. Jesus never married or had children while on earth, and so would have had no decendents.

If the "Da Vinci Code" wasn't FICTION, I would be one of his descendants. Fact: Jesus never married or had children. That wasn't his purpose on Earth.
