This is interesting. I have been reading a couple books on the lost tribes of Israel. The books mention that the lost tribes had migrated to Europe and other parts of the world. Also, before all the tribes had been lost, there were tribes like Dan who were able to sail to parts of Europe and trade. Some tribesmen from Dan set up trading post in parts of Europe. Italy, Spain, France, and some believe Ireland and Britain were some of the places they set up posts.
Anyhow, if you are interested, check out: The Story of Celto-Saxon Israel by WH Bennett and Symbols of Our Celto-Saxon Heritage by LG Pine.

That's Anglo-Israelism, which asserts that Israel (the 10 tribes) migrated to Britain. It asserts that Ephraim is English and Manasseh is American. It proposes biblical support for Anglo-American superiority. Herbert W. Armstrong was a big proponent. The actual historical evidence is mighty thin.

Keep in mind that there is a difference between Israel (or Israelites) and Jews. The term “Jew” grew from the tribe of Judah, which, apparently absorbing the tribe of Benjamin, retained the southern kingdom and the capital of Jerusalem after Solomon’s death.
The remaining 10 “lost” tribes” made up the northern kingdom of Israel, which was conquered by the Assyrians and scattered among the other captive nations until their heritage and national identity was abolished, absorbed by other cultures.
The Jews of Judah were also taken into captivity many years later by the Babylonians, but they retained their ethnic and cultural identity and were eventually allowed to return to the homeland, unlike the tribes of the northern kingdom.
The Jews are Israelites, but the 10 lost tribes of the northern kingdom were never Jews.
