h/t Razib, here is Shamam Waldman et al. doi 10.1101/2022.05.13.491805: "Genome-wide data from medieval German Jews show that the Ashkenazi founder event pre-dated the 14th century".
Currently all I can read is the abstract, but we seem to have - here - coverage of Jews in the Galician region as point to ancestors to those Jews. Thirty-three of them, in Erfurt blackdeath-era.
They were already bottlenecked so were already not mingling with Gentiles if they could help it; although they did hold a few introgressions from northern Europe as do not survive to our race today. To be kept in mind: these are Galicians, who like their gefilte sweet. I am a spicy Litwak, complete with M33 from the Burma highland.
They even share some (eight) of the mutations as afflict our present race. I do not know if the M33 mitochondrion is amongst them however. (I suspect not.)
