Apparently, the last remaining descendant of Bach lives or used to live in
Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He was interviewed by the CBC in 1985 during the
tercentenary of Bach's birth. From what I heard, this fellow teaches or
taught music at the University of Calgary, he was in his fifties, single
and no children (what a pity). Perhaps some of the more informed fellow
Canadian list members can add to or correct the above information.
