I'm confused about why everyone says this.  Was there some reference
to Barty as the last of his line I missed?  Yes, Bart Sr. and Jr. have
both died, but that doesn't make them the end of their family line. 
Do we know that Bart Sr. was an only child?  He could have five
brothers all out merrily producing more Crouches to carry on the
family tradition.  Or he could have had a slew of cousins, even if he
was an only child.  Just because the father and son die off doesn't
mean that they're the last of the line.  You have to go quite a bit
farther back for that.
