WOW! Is this ever going to be a short essay. He never married, thus he had no descendants. (The End).

According to the Bible, Jesus was never married and had no descendents.
There have been myths going back centuries that Jesus married Mary Magdelene, and that eventually their family moved to France. Some even claim that the Merovingian kings were Jesus' descendants. Recently, James Cameron did a documentary on a grave site that he claimed was the final resting place of Jesus and his family.
These are not generally accepted in the Christian tradition, but they might give you a place to start.

Good luck with that! Sounds like a trick question to me!
If you need sources, there is the Bible (which does not mention Jesus having children, therefore no descendants)
There are the gnostic gospels, some of them disagreeing with the bible, but again good luck finding them...
And then there are myths surrounding Jesus' child and wife fleeing to France. For a very entertaining read on this topic, but not historical at all, read the Davinci Code.

According to the Bible, Jesus himself never had any children. However, in metaphorical terms, every Christian believer is a child of his. There are some people who claim that Jesus had children with Mary Magdalene but this is just a theory--see the criticism in the link below.

Though he probably had no direct decendants (children), there is a rather good chance that he had neices and nephews. It is known that he did have brothers and sisters. The only one i know of off the top of my head was named James.
A coffin was found in i believe it was Italy that had inscribed on it "Here lies James Son of Joseph and Mary, Brother of Jesus". Though at the time it was typical to have the parental relations on the coffin, siblings were only usually put on there if they were well known.

Read Holy Blood Holy Grail for the truth about Jesus. By the way, Christ is not part of the name.

Jesus never married and only had platonic relationships and he was himself an immaculate conception; thus he has no descendants.
