There really isn't a lot of evidence that there were really ever 12 tribes. However, if there were actually 12 tribes at one time, they were apparently assimilated into the nations that conquered them and took them away as slaves. The nations that had conquered them at that time were not European. The surviving offspring of those people would be more likely to be found in Syria, Iraq, and Iran probably.

There are several groups that have claimed that they were descended from one or more of the lost tribes. However, most of those claims are extremely unlikely to be true.

For a period of time, even some of the Maoris of New Zealand believed that they were one of the lost tribes of Israel.

At one point, the Jewish people had divided into a northern and a southern kingdom. The southern kingdom consisted of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. The northern kingdom consisted of all the other tribes.

The northern kingdom was conquered by the Assyrians and all of the Jews living there were taken into slavery. After that, all of those tribes disappeared from history.

So, all of today's Jews are descended from the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. At least, that is the common belief.

there have been 12 tribes of Jews plus the priestly type. on an identical time, there have been different persons worldwide extensive who weren't Jews with the help of any definition. that is in Genesis while the heritages of the 12 tribes in Israel are given out. Later, the single Jewish kingdom became split with the help of competing factions. as a techniques through fact the Bible states, the ten tribes in between the kingdoms have been destroyed or thoroughly assimilated into the conquering usa. the different 2 tribes plus the clergymen in the different kingdom are people who have been around while the hot testomony activities have been going on. That North u.s. company comes from the e book of Mormon, i think of, yet i'm not LDS and don't be responsive to for specific.

The 12 tribes you mention are the 12 tribes of Isreal, not of the Jews. The Jews represent the house of Judah, which is only one of the 12 tribes of Isreal. The truth is that God's chosen people--the 12 tribes of Isreal--are scattered throughout the world. Many of them are in America, which is why America has flourished. Jesus came from the house of Judah by way of his mother, Mary, who came from the house of Judah.

Humans may have lost track of all the Jews, but God has not lost track of a single one.
There are still 12 Tribes.

In Hebrew names have meaning. Israel means an over comer with Elohim. Jew is from Yahudim which means a worshiper of YHVH. re ancestry, probably, the ten "Lost" tribes, who lost their own identity, seem rather well scattered.

Wrong
12 sons of Jacob...one of those son;s was named Judah..therefore all that descend from Judah are Jews.
But I do agree that some did cross the Atlantic.

Please do enough research on the history of mankind so that you may avoid coming here and asking scientific questions you derived from a work of fiction.
