Lots of family members in the 18th-century music biz. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, the current cellist/conductor Christian Benda is related to the 18th-century clan, and there is/was a group called "The Benda Musicians" (Sebastian Benda, piano, Lola Benda, violin, Monica Benda, viola, Christian Benda, cello, and Francois Benda, clarinet - the French first name perhaps to differentiate him from his ancestor?) which has made recordings. I have a couple of Christian Benda's blu-ray audio recordings (I like them), and he's been kind of prolific on the Naxos label.
etc.
