Quite interesting, as I thought; East Germanic-speaking Westphalia and/or Lower Saxony is indeed interesting.
It was indeed, although their ultimate identity is yet to solve definitely.
Good insight, although I forgot to include (limited) agricultural package that they would (or otherwise) possibly bring westward in my post.

More particularly in Thrace (south of Jireček line and north of Constantinople region).
I thought of the Onge people.
Oh, I thought of this recently, as I forgot to add it earlier:
- A plurality of Pictish tribes migrating to OTL Powys (and regions east of it like Shropshire) in a period between Roman era and the post-Roman era of upheavals.
They are influenced by Dayak and Malay immigration in the Philippines.
However, determining the OTL counterpart of such group(s) could be relatively difficult, unless you're considering Kalamian language(s) as such, more specifically Agutaynen.
The region of Manila de Bay and Laguna de bay are no man's land at one point because they are either mountainous or marshlands.
Alright a bit of an odd one here, but after the destruction of the Khwazmerian Empire a large portion of its more population fled as refuges westward into the Levant where they entered Ayyubid service under their leader Baraka(No I am not kidding that was his real name) and actually helped expel the Crusaders fully from Jerusalem.....until the Ayyubids betrayed them and killed Baraka in battle at which point the Khwazmerians ceased to be a politically relevant force in the region. Honestly I find the idea of a Khwazmerian successor state popping in the Levant right as the Mongols are embarking on their conquest of the Middle East to be very amusing.
Proto-Koreans migrate down south all the way to the Yangtze, while the Korean Peninsula is settled by Tungusic peoples. Franks land on the coast of Britain instead of Anglo-Saxons. Have the Irish Gaelics be more active at seafaring and discover Iceland. And my favorite scenario of them all?
Japanese Catholics migrate to Taiwan to flee persecution by the Shogunate. Give them a few decades, and they'll be terrorizing the coast of Japan with European ships and weapons.

A Kamehameha-type conqueror arises among the Tlingit tribe of southeast Alaska and unifies all the Pacific Northwest down to Vancouver Island between 1690-1710. Refugees from the defeated tribes migrate southward, creating large settlements at present-day Portland, Oregon and the San Francisco Bay. The San Francisco group especially thrives, expanding up the Sacramento River into the Central Valley of California. As Spanish missions encroach upon their territory from the south they conduct raids upon the mission settlements.
Literally any group to the Pannonian basin, Place is just the perfect place for a random group to migrate into. I mean OTL it got in short succession: Scythians, Celts, Lombards and Gepids, Avars, Slavs, Magyars, Cumans, and Ossetians. seemingly any group can be thrown there and they can thrive.
There were/are Native American groups with a related phenotype and builds in Central California, Baja California, and Tierra del Fuego. Besides one Athabaskan-speaking group who had that appearance because they extensively married among another group who did, all spoke language isolates/very small language families not related to any other family (or each other), i.e. Guaycura and Yuki. This implies they were very early migrants to the region.
