This again? I remember reading that they were preparing to do this almost 40 years ago! And can they PROVE they are of the Tribe of Levi?
Ezra 2:61. 61 The following priestly clans could find no record to prove their ancestry: Habaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai. (The ancestor of the priestly clan of Barzillai had married a woman from the clan of Barzillai of Gilead and had taken the name of his father-in-law’s clan.)
62 Since they were unable to prove who their ancestors were, they were not accepted as priests.
Who has the records?
I haven’t read all of the following, and can’t answer any questions or objections that you may have about this, but these articles claim that DNA studies are being used to identify Jewish men who are deemed eligible for the Levitical priesthood in Israel today:

The argument seems to be if your name is Cohen you are automatically a Levite.
