Apparently East Asians have more neanderthal DNA than Europeans so I'm not sure the region of initial discovery really matter that much. Also Neanderthal 1 is 40000 years old, your family may have arrived in the region even a 1000 years ago and be completely unrelated to it.

It works the other way too though. There's a good chance that at some point along those thousand years, somebody had kids with somebody else who had older ancestry in the area, and so on.

That assumes their family only bred with each other, which I very much hope isn't the case!
