Question:

Where can I find information on the descendants of Lord Sri Krishna?

I would like to find information on Lord Sri Krishna's wives, children, grandchildren, heirs and descendants to the present day. I know there are several dynasties throughout history which have claimed or do claim descent from Lord Krishna. Can you give me further details on their ancestry? Any links to tables showing Krishna's ancestors and descendants would be useful as well.

deepuvaalu, my question has nothing to do with the Da Vinci Code. Actually there were dynasties within recorded history which claim descent from Krishna, who obviously did not live millions of years ago. If He was a real person, which I believe He was, then He certainly did not live more than several thousand years ago. The same goes for Rama. Interestingly, Siddharta Gautama Buddha descends directly from Lord Rama. The Yadavas are a Hindu caste which descend from relatives of Krishna. Some of them also claim direct descent from Krishna. What I want is more information. I want to know more about dynasties and families which claim descent from Krishna and any genealogical tables would be useful.
