Adolf Hitler had one surviving sister after World War 2 a sister named Paula she died in 1960 http://history1900s.about.com/library/holocaust/nhitanc.htm
Paula Hitler (January 21, 1896 – June 1, 1960) was the younger sister of Adolf Hitler and the last child of Alois Hitler and his third wife, Klara Pölzl. Paula was born in Hafeld, Austria, and was the only full sibling of Adolf Hitler to survive into adulthood.

After their mother died from breast cancer in 1907, Adolf turned over his share of their orphans' pension to her. She lost contact with him for many years during the First World War and its aftermath. She later said that when they met again in the 1920s, she was surprised and did not even recognize him, but then was delighted when he took her shopping. From 1929 onwards she saw Adolf once a year, typically at large Nazi functions and events. In 1936 he asked her to change her name to Paula Wolff (Adolf's childhood nickname, which he had also used incognito during the 1920s). Adolf provided her with steady financial support from the early 1930s until his death in 1945.

Paula worked as a secretary in a military hospital until the end of the Second World War, was arrested by US Intelligence officers in May 1945, and debriefed beginning later that year. Paula said she could not bring herself to believe her brother had been responsible for the Holocaust but agents ignored this as a sisterly expression of loyalty. Paula was released from US custody and returned to Vienna where she worked in an arts and crafts shop. In 1952 she moved to Berchtesgaden, Germany, reportedly living in seclusion in a two-room flat.

In February 1959 she agreed to give an interview to Peter Morley, a documentary producer for British television station Associated-Rediffusion, which was broadcast as part of a programme called Tyranny: The Years of Adolf Hitler. She talked mostly about Hitler's childhood. This was the only filmed interview she ever gave before her death on June 1, 1960 at the age of 64. Paula neither married nor had children. There is some evidence she shared her brother's strong German nationalist beliefs, but she was not politically active.

A German historian named Beierl did some research and it led him to Russian interrogation papers, which exposed the fact that Paula Hitler was engaged to Erwin Jekelius, responsible for gassing 4,000 people during the war.

Mr Beierl said: "Until this point, Paula Hitler had a clean slate. But the portrayal of her being a poor little creature has suddenly shifted. "In my opinion, the fact that she was due to marry one of Austria's worst criminals means that she was also connected with death, horror and gas chambers." And Dr Ryback added: "To me, discovering that Paula was going to marry Jekelius is one of the most astonishing revelations of my career. "She bought into the whole thing -- hook, line and sinker."

Paula, who later lived under the pseudonym Wolf, did not marry Jekelius, as the wedding was forbidden by her brother. Dr Ryback said: "It was like a scene from Monty Python. Jekelius goes to Berlin to ask Hitler for his sister's hand; he is met by the Gestapo, shipped off to the Eastern front, and snapped up by the Russians."

Paula was buried in the Bergfriedhof in Berchtesgaden/Schönau in 1960 under the name Paula Hitler. In June 2005 the wooden grave marker and remains were reportedly removed and replaced with another burial, which is common practice in German cemeteries after two or more decades have elapsed. In May 2006 however, it was reported on Geoff Walden's informative website Third Reich in Ruins that Paula's grave marker has been returned to her grave. Today a second and smaller grave marker has been added to the grave and it says a certain Cornelia Reif (02.03.1925 – 03.06.2005) has been buried in the same grave as well. Confidential information learns that her husband owns the grave and he is the one who took care of Paula's grave through the years. It is said he's an old SS-veteran.

Diary

In August 2005 the two historians (Timothy Ryback and Florian Beierl) announced they had found, at an undisclosed location in Germany, a diary written by Paula Hitler. Its provenance had not yet been confirmed by public peer review. The typewritten document (which is said to date from her childhood) reportedly describes instances of abuse by her older brother Adolf.

Hitler had a half sister from his father first marriage who survived up until 1949 her name was Angela Hitler
Angela Raubal Hamitsch, born Angela Hitler (July 28, 1883 - October 30, 1949), was the elder half-sister of Adolf Hitler.

She was born in Braunau, Austria, the second child of Alois Hitler and his second wife, Franziska Matzelberger. Her mother died the next year. She and her brother Alois Hitler, Jr. were raised by their father and his third wife Klara Hitler. Her half-brother Adolf Hitler was born six years after her and they grew very close. She is the only one of his siblings mentioned in Mein Kampf.

Her father died in 1903 and her stepmother died in 1907 leaving a small inheritance. By this time she had married Leo Raubal, a junior tax inspector, and in 1906 had given birth to a son (also named Leo). In 1908 she gave birth to Geli and in 1910 to a second daughter, Elfriede.

Her husband Leo Raubal died on August 10, 1910. According to an OSS profile of the Hitler family, Angela moved to Vienna and after World War I became manager of Mensa Academia Judaica, a boarding house for Jewish students where she once defended her charges against anti-Semitic rioters.

Angela had heard nothing from Adolf for a decade when he re-established contact with her in 1919. In 1928 she and Geli moved to Obersalzberg where she became his housekeeper and was later put in charge of the household at Hitler's expanded retreat in Berchtesgaden.

Adolf Hitler began a relationship with her daughter Geli who committed suicide in 1931. Meanwhile Angela strongly disapproved of Hitler's relationship with Eva Braun (while some report she tried to warn Eva Braun of the dangers of getting involved with Adolf; her motives for this are not clear). She eventually left Berchtesgaden as a result and moved to Dresden. Adolf Hitler broke off relations with her and did not attend her wedding to Professor Hamitsch. Although it seems that he re-established contact with her during the war, because she stayed his medium to the rest of the family, who were mere peasants with whom he did not want contact. In 1941, she sold her memories of her years with Adolf Hitler to the Eher Verlag, which brought her 20,000 Reichsmark (Hitler himself earned millions for Mein Kampf).

In spring 1945 - after the destruction of Dresden in the massive bomb attack of February 13/14 -he got her moved to Berchtesgaden, to avoid her being captured by the Russians. Also he let her and her younger sister Paula hand over 100,000 Reichsmark for further life. In his testament she was guaranteed a pension of 1,000 Reichsmark monthly. It is quite uncertain if she ever received a penny of this amount. Nevertheless, she spoke very highly of him even after the war and - surely - claimed that neither her brother nor she herself had known anything about what was going on in the concentration camps. She declared that if Adolf had known about these things, he would have stopped them. This was, however, the usual reaction of millions of Germans during these years.

ADOLF HITLER'S SIBLINGS -

On January 21, 1896, an innocent child was born in the small farm community of Hafeld, Austria, 30 miles southwest of the old provincial capital of Linz, on the Danube. The name of the child was Paula Hitler, the last child of Alois Hitler and his third wife Klara. Paulas mother, born Klara Pölzl, was 23 years younger than Alois. She was so closely related to her husband that a special dispensation was sought from Rome before they could marry in 1884.

Klara and Alois Hitler

The couple had five children, but only two survived to become adults: Paula and her elder brother, Adolf Hitler, murderer of millions, master of destruction and organized insanity. Two of her siblings died from diphtheria when they were children, and one died shortly after birth.

He was not close to either half-sibling.

Angela had 3 children, two of whom survived the war, and I believe they had children, but I don't know their stories. But if you search on the their names from the family tree, you should have no problems finding information on them.
