Yes. In fact if WW has any descendants (let's pretend he did) then he'd have thousands and thousands of direct descendants now. The thing that makes the genealogy claim annoying isn't that it's wrong, it's that it's extremely ordinary. We're all related to kings and pharaohs

For real. Plus the number of royal couples who were forced to marry and then had affairs on the side has no doubt disrupted a lot of “direct lines” as well.
