Well, there COULD be people related to Jesus around today. He may have had brothers and sisters.

Not in the DNA sense. Here's why: Jesus was conceived prior to being implanted into Mary's womb, thus his DNA was not Mary or Joseph derived. All the children with DNA from Mary and Joseph (remember that feminine looking one in da Vinci's Last Supper; the brother of Jesus in the sense that they both have the same Mother who gave them life support in her womb) are brothers and sisters but not in the DNA sense. By the same token, I'm a brother of Jesus by the coming of the Holy Spirit but not by DNA.

A perhaps more intriguing notion is 'how much of Jesus did Mary retain in her body following His birth?' It is a known fact that a few cells of each child gestated in a woman's body are retained in her body for the rest of her life. [And folks don't want to acknowledge some holiness for Mary!]
