Apparently actor Kyle McLaughlin claims to be descended from JSB!
Anyone know more about this?

[To Michael Dunn] I do not know anything specifice about this chap's claim (to be candid, I have never heard of him), but there is an article in Bach Perspectives 5, the 2002 Membership Gift from the American Bach Society, that sets forth in detail the remarkable story of how it was discovered that the only known direct descendants of Johann Sebastian Bach, the descendants of one of the daughters of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, are here in the USA.

I suspect that you can get more information about obtaining a copy of Bach Perspectives 5 at the ABS website, www.americanbachsociety.org.

I hope that this helps.
