W6a: Balto-Slavic or Gothic?

[Peterski]

One of the newly published Visigoths from Spain had mtDNA haplogroup W6a:

If I'm not mistaken, this Visigothic W6a is actually the only known so far ancient W6a younger than Bronze Age.

Bronze Age W6a samples are Corded Ware Lithuania (Mittnik et. al. 2017) and from Corded Ware East Germany:

- W6a sample dated to ~3260-2630 BC, Baltic Corded Ware, Plinkaigalis, Lithuania
- W6a sample dated to ~2566-2477 BC, Corded Ware, Esperstedt, East Germany

I also have W6a, here is my mtDNA Wiki report:

When will we have autosomal dna?

Balto-slavic mtdna is expected as conquerors get access to local women, in this case proto-slavs + some scythians

When will we have autosomal dna?

I have some info about DNA of Ostrogoths from Ukraine, but I can't say anything, it is secret.

But one of Visigoths from Spain - I12031 - apparently clusters with modern South Slavic Serbs.

Edit:

One Visigoth from Spain - I12031 - clusters with modern Serbs and has Balkan Y-DNA haplogroup E1b1b1a1b1a.

This is Balkan haplogroup E-V13:

Sources say: in year 418 the Goths (or at least: some Goths) were in South-West France.

At the same time, archaeology still shows evidence of Wielbark Culture existing in Poland.

Wielbark Culture starts to disappear from archaeological record in Poland only around 450:

"Wielbark C. disappears from the archaeological record around mid-5th century"

Here is what I got for this Visigoth (I12034), can someone check further downstream if it is W6a1a or not?:

My mtdna is W but I don't have any further info about that.My maternal grand grandma is Circassian and when I upload my ftdna on mytrueancestry.com, it shows I'm half Ostrogoth, does it make any sense?
