The 12 Tribes of Israel were scattered/merged centuries before Jesus; afterwards Israel was divided into the tribes of either Israel or Judah.
2 examples:
1) How was Paul from the tribe of Benjamin if it didn't exist anymore?
2) In Luke 2:36 - "here was also a prophet, Anna, the daughter of Penuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage"
Again we see an old tribe mentioned in the New Testament.
Was it that the tribes were "officially" gone, but people still tracked this bloodline as a higher priority? Such as an American who still calls themself of German or Chinese descent/origins?
