Columbus' decendants

[CptColumbo]

I was just reading in a book that Christopher Columbus' decendant still has his Admiral title. I don't remember the exact title off-hand, but is this true, and does that give them any money like a KCB would, and from what body.

According to this it is only an honorary title:

If you wish to conduct more research into it... use the name he actually went by: Cristobal Colon
