1. New Article:
The Ten Tribes were all Exiled and are Amongst Western Peoples!
Polemics: David Parsons Refuted!

http://www.britam.org/parsons.html

Extracts:
Archaeological opinion (for what it is worth) also says the same:

# archaeological surveys indicate that until the eighth century [i.e. the 700s after the Assyrian Exile] the population of the Judahite highlands was about one-tenth that of the highlands of the northern kingdom of Israel. #
The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Texts",
 by Israel Finkelstein, Neil Asher Silberman, 2001, p.238

There is a minority opinion that the Lost Tribes are to be found amongst Ashkenazic (European) Jews. This seems unlikely or if at all true then as applying to minority amongst the Jews and a minority of the Ten Tribes.
Alternately it could be that in this as in other cases elsewhere the Jews eventually applied to themselves traditions that pertained to populations who had been in the area before them. There were legends that the Lost Ten Tribes had been in parts of Europe. Later when Jews settled in those areas it was obvious that the Gentile inhabitants around them on the whole could not be from the Ten Tribes so in time the local Jews began to apply those traditions to themselves.
For instance, a portion of the Lost Tribes had been in Germany.  This was reported by sages such as Solomon Luria, "Chochmat Shlomoh", Maharshal, 1510-1574, and became part of Jewish tradition. It is also mentioned in gentiles sources such as the Austrian Chronicle concerning the period up to 223 CE. They had moved away into the Netherlands, France, and the British Isles. Some remained but later moved en masse to North America in the 1700s and 1800s. The local Jews of Germany etc received these traditions or heard the legends from others and may have applied them to themselves or had them applied by others from outside who were not aware of the historical background.

At all events, Jewish Tradition and Commentaries overwhelmingly agrees that the majority of the Ten Tribes did not return and did not re-unite with Judah but are still destined to do so.

It may be that many of those Gentiles who over the centuries converted to Judaism were from the Ten Tribes or from Judah. This however is besides the point. The Bible says that the Ten Tribes on the whole will remain separate and distinct from Judah until the End Days. Such is the situation at present.



2. Alistair Williams: Remarks on the Gomer-Cimmerians Article.
Re:
The Rabbi Said:
GOMER is a Name of Israelites!
http://www.britam.org/GOMER2.html

Dear Yair,

The article on Gomer and the associated names ie Gimmeri or Gameru is interesting.

The link and subsequent mention of Wales needs clarification.
http://www.britam.org/WalesName.html
I live in Wales close to predominantly Welsh speaking areas.

It is true, Wales in the Welsh language is Cymru, the pronunciation is however not as you suggest.  Phonetically it is Cumree.  I am not a Welsh speaker but attended a school where Welsh was taught as a second language.

In addition you might be interested to know that under certain circumstances the letter 'C' is substituted for a 'G' making the name for Wales in Welsh Gymru pronounced Gumree.  'U' in Welsh is always 'ee'.

'Y' on the other hand has a number of sounds it can be 'u' as in up 'ea' as in seal.

The pronunciation of Gimmeri and Gymru are almost the same.

I find another Welsh word fascinating.

Easter in Welsh is 'Pasg' which has been linked to the Hebrew 'Pesah' which suggests Passover may have once been kept in Wales until a certain church doctrine changed times.

God bless you.

Alistair
