And what of those proselytes who are not descended from Jacob?

Also, since the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD, can any Jew truly trace their geneology back to Jacob? (I know some claim they can)
yes I would argue that they can. for instance the Tribes of Levi and Judah are still around. I know some of them indirectly.
how do they know this? all who claimed to be Levi took a DNA test, 98% had a common marker or something//. the records were not only stored in the temple.

but that is how they would say they know
