I've never put any stock in BI - the doctrine that says the lost tribes basically became Europeans and then migrated here to the US and those of us who come to Torah are literally Ephraim. My wife and I got our DNA ancestry tested and the results are really intriguing - we are both overwhelmingly European with strikingly similar ancestry. I'm 58% German and the rest Irish or the islands off Ireland. My wife is 62% British and the rest eastern European. The fact that we're so close in ancestry raises the eyebrow. But we have absolutely ZERO middle eastern anything in us. Zip. Zilch. So maybe we're adopted children of YHVH after all?
