Nope, those tribes are long gone. They got raided by Huns and had enough, got frustrated - packed their shit and went across the Oder.
Poles descent from the N-W most Slavic wing, that interacted with the Goths, traded with them extensively & gave to them their borrowed words "hleb - bread", "kopitej - buy", "loku - onion", among others.

I don't pay much attention to Greek scholars. Except Jordanes but he was probably ethnically similar to me & not Greek.

Could be that every M458 or majority of them is of Celtic descent, so yea, have, and it could be a lot of actual people.

it's possible that Vistula Veneti were pushed east by the Germanic tribes and took part in the formation of proto-Slavs.
in that case all Slavs would have some ancestry from them.

Poles definitely have ancient Germanic, Scythian and Celtic admix.

Well Przeworsk culture is probably proto-Slavic and Wielbark is now confirmed (East)Germanic. Modern Poles look highly Slavic and their non-Slavic part seems to be Germanic. I think South Poles look a bit southern shifted but it could be due to mixing with Slovaks or maybe even Vlach admixture?
