What is Guru Nanak's genology?

Question

I'm just wondering what is Guru Nanak's geneology, I've heard that he was born to the "Bedi" clan, but I also want to know if he has decendents, since I heard of many people with the last name "Bedi", but I want to know which ones are directly decended of Guru Nanak himself.

Answer 1

Sikhism's founder's the Guru Nanak's. Bedi is a well known Khatri clan in India.

Answer 2

Bedi is a well known Khatri clan in India. Guru Nanak Dev, the founder of Sikhism, was born into this clan.  

The ancestors of Guru Nanak Dev came to be called as Bedi (Vedi), because they had studied the Vedas, the ancient Hindu texts, according to the Bichitra Natak, the autobiography of the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh.

Answer 3

The founder of the Sikh religion, Guru Nanak was born on April 15, 1469 in the Western Punjab village of Talwandi. He was born to a simple Hindu family. His father Mehta Kalian Das was an accountant in the employment of the local Muslim authorities.

On September 22, 1539 in the early hours of the morning Guru Nanak merged with the eternal light of the Creator. When the followers lifted the sheet they found nothing except the flowers which were all fresh. The Hindus took theirs and cremated them, while the Muslims took their flowers and buried them.

Nanak had only two sons, named Srichand (born in 1494 A.D.) and Lakshmichand (born in 1497 A.D).

Srichand renounced the world and founded a sect of ascetics called Udasis.

(The Udasis are an ascetic order of the Nanaksahi Sikhs. Srichand, son of Guru Nanak, embraced Sannyasa. Udasis are his followers. Lakshmichand, son of Guru Nanak, led the life of a house-holder. Vedis are his followers).

Nanak settled down at Khartarpur towards the close of his life. His whole family lived there together for the first time. Houses for the dwelling of Nanak’s family and a Dharmashala were also built.

It appears that the two sons of Guru Nanak did not have any children, so there are no living, blood line, descendants of Guru Nanak.
