My understanding is that mitocondrial DNA testing has found specific genetic markers among several east african communities (Jewish) which provide very strong evidence of not only being culturally but also biologically descended from Jewish tribes. I have no idea if they are the same group(s) to which you referred
I only mentioned the Falasha. The specific abstract I'm referring to is:

"Origins of Falasha Jews studied by haplotypes of the Y chromosome" by Lucotte & Smets (International Institute of Anthropology, Paris, France)
