>..the Isrealites (Anglo-Saxons) would have went into captivity by the Babylonians,

Oopsie. The Southern Kingdom which went into Babylonian captivity were not Anglo-Saxons. The Anglo Saxons came from the Northern Kingdom which went into Assyrian captivity, and upon breaking free burst onto history as The Celts. (For Details, please click on my Profile, below.)

But they all were of course cousins, and we assume all 12 tribes more or less freely intermingled up through the time the Davidic Kingdom split in 922 BC.

That's true. I always think of the Babylonians preceding the Assryians, Babylon sounds older because there is no Babylon anymore, whereas there is a "Syria". :^) At any rate, I think of both of them as the progenetors of modern Germans. German Germans, not German-Americans. The Germans that came here were Israelites for the most part, I believe, from the Israelite part of Germany.

But they all were of course cousins, and we assume all 12 tribes more or less freely intermingled up through the time the Davidic Kingdom split in 922 BC.

Dan and Asher were in Gaza, weren't they? Do you suppose that Portuguese means "Port of the Gazans"?
