Ten Tribes went lost.
The great majority of Jews today, some 80% or so, are descended from the tribe of Judah (plus converts and descendants of converts). The remaining 20% include Levites (from the tribe of Levi), Cohanim (also a part of the Levites), the entire Tribe of Benjamin, and a small percentage from every one of the remaining tribes. (When the Ten Tribes were carried off into Assyria and didn't return, some of them had already mixed into the tribe of Judah before that, through marriage and through large-scale migration [e.g. 2 Chronicles 15:9]. Also, the Talmud relates [Megillah 14b] that, one century after the Ten Tribes were exiled [and their location was still known], Jeremiah journeyed to where they were and brought some of them back to Judea. Thus, today's Jewry includes a small percentage of every one of the Lost Tribes. [See for example the Talmud, Pesachim 4a.])
As to the location of the bulk of the lost Ten Tribes, because of the lack of a continuous tradition in this particular matter, we can only speculate. Some well-known claims, such as the suggestion that the Native Americans or African Americans are the Lost Israelite Tribes, we can confidently dismiss offhand; and DNA analyses have also debunked such ideas. Other claims, such as that which has been suggested concerning the Pathani (Pashtun), are less far-fetched but must for the time being remain nothing more than a guess.

Who were the descendants of Ephraim?

Why are the original tribes of Israel called the lost tribes?
They are not. It is only ten of the original twelve Tribes that went lost, not all twelve. Jews are descended from the ones that didn't go lost. The reason that the Ten Lost Tribes are called that, is because they were carried off into exile by the Assyrians some 2600 years ago and did not return. Their whereabouts is unknown.The great majority of Jews today, some 80% or so, are descended from the tribe of Judah (plus converts and descendants of converts).

What happen to the 12 disciples?
All the Apostles, except James, left Jerusalem and went to the lost sheep of Israel as Matthew 10:6 states. Paul had a special calling as an Apostle to the Gentiles mainly. So if you can find where these Apostles went, you will discover where the lost 10 tribes were living in the 1st Century AD. Guess they aren't really lost as many historians state.

Who was the Lost Tribe in the Bible and how did they become missing?
When Shalmenzer over-ran the Kingdom of Israel (about 721 B.C), he carried the Ten Tribes comprising that that kingdom captive into Assyria. From thence they were led into the land of the north and have been called the Lost Tribes because they are lost to the knowledge of other people. We have no knowledge of the location or condition of that part of the Ten Tribes who went into the north country. Eventually the lost tribes will come forth and will bring with them their own scriptures, for they to had their own prophets who kept them on the straight and narrow path during their wandering into the north countries. We will have the opportunity to read those very scriptures and they to will read ours. and they shall be made into one record. It is very probable that the Lord ministered to them, for did he not say "Other sheep I have which are not of this fold, these to must I visit. (Paraphrased).
