#7  Here is a nice summary of the various tribes of Jews in India. I'd be interested to see the results of a DNA study on the Ben Menashe...one was done on a variety of Cohens (Kahn, Kane, Koen, Spahn, etc) and Levys from around the world, and confirmed they were all related down the male, ie priestly, side. If they are indeed of one of the Lost Tribes, linkages should show up.

#1  There may be some of the "lost tribes" in India, but I have my money on the England and the US being the descendents of Joseph and some of the northwestern European nations being the descendents of the other "lost tribes", so called.

France, being said to be mainly the tribe of Rueben, the first born of Jacob whose birth-right was taken from him and given to Joseph, goes a long way to explain the pissy French attitude =p

Who knows, only time will tell.
