Being that the challal status (resulting from a kohen having children with a woman that is assur to him mishum kehuna) applies to all of his descendants for all of eternity and such people (the daughters) can never marry a kohen, even if there were only small number of challalim hundreds of years ago they would still have thousands of descendants today who would be assur to marry a kohen, yet I have never heard of anyone who is a challal. Any ideas?
Your premise that the children of a Challal are Assur le’Kohen is incorrect. See Shulchan Aruch Even HaEzer 7 16. link removed

Yes, there are (though they are rarely Mefarseim it), but your assumption is completely wrong.
Your premise that the children of a Challal are Assur le’Kohen is incorrect. See Shulchan Aruch Even HaEzer 7 16.
Well, he’s only partially incorrect. Any daughters of male-line descendants of challalim are forbidden to Kohanim. So, the OP’s question is still valid.

If mamzeirim mixed into Klal Yisroel far enough back c”v, we’re in pretty bad shape.
Was someone’s post deleted ? Cuz now mine makes no sense.
Yes. Someone had brought up the topic of mamzeirim and your post made sense as a response.
It’s a B’feirush Gemara in Yevamos that we have a Havtacha from HKBH that a Mamzer that we don’t know about won’t have viable progeny (past grandkids).
Thanks. Didn’t remember the source, so I was showing how it has to be so.
