Same bro!
The weird thing about Tristan da Cunha (that's the island), is that the inbreeding is so high that: "There are instances of health problems attributed to endogamy, including glaucoma. In addition, there is a very high incidence of asthma among the population and research by Dr. Noe Zamel of the University of Toronto has led to discoveries about the genetic nature of the disease.[45] Three of the original settlers of the island were asthma sufferers.[46]"
I think there are only 9 surnames on the island Collins, Glass, Green, Hagan, Lavarello, Repetto, Rogers, Squibb and Swain.
You would think this would make them want immigration to reduce the incidence of this, but nope, new settlers are forbidden. It's also a British overseas territory.
It's also apparently completely inhabited by Space Marines, given their motto is, "Our faith is our strength."
