Sounds odd, but was just lucky, because they didn't move around much for a couple of hundred years.
Though if you bear in mind that if you go back 1,000 years we all have literally tens of thousands of great grandparents many times removed, so half the country will have a direct link to Lackland too.
Nnety percent of us all will be in some way related.
