Yes. My Recent Ancestral Origins from my 37 Marker, Y-DNA test, shows the many cousins I have that are listed as Ashkenaz-Levite. They are living all over E. Europe, as well as France, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain, etc. More importantly some are from E. Anatolia which would require a lengthy discussion.Matthew, the Apostle, was a Jew as were the other 11.Each represented one of the 12 Tribes coincidentally.Matthew represented the Simeon/Levi Tribe [The Levites were not a Tribe, as such, but were the priests--The Simeon Tribe were know as Keepers of the Gate [relics, treasures], with Sword]. Descendants of the Simeon Tribe, one of the "Lost Tribes", were known as Silurians or Senones in some cases.Most ended up in Wales, primarily in the South of Wales. That would also be true of the other "Lost Tribes", who were not lost at all, despite what the "Church" would have you believe, such dribble.
