   Respectfully, I am a Celt of the old blood. My father told me there were connections between our ancestors and the Medes and related people in the days when our ancestors were making their long migrations from the foothills of the Hindu Kush and Himalayas across land and water to Europe. They did not simply make straight shot to Europe like an arrow, and some groups evidently doubled back towards the original lands. Both known dialects of Tocharian were highly cognate with Old Irish, at least still 60% around the first millenium CE, even more than ancient Persian language from Avestan times. 
It is highly possible that they mixed with or were absorbed into communities of Mittani, Carduel, Gorani, etc.. Look for R1b1 Haplotype for the most part.

They were horse culture people, could make copper, bronze, and some limited iron items like strips to cover the edges of utility knives and fighting knives. They wove bias weave fabrics such as twill, had a large loom with a flying shuttle, used a spinning wheel to make yarn and thread, had a special breed of sheep with unusually soft oily golden wool ("golden fleece" of the Greek legends). They fought in units of three, counted by sevens and twenties, kept two calendars reckoned by nights, were capable of writing but used it only for official records like head counts of live stock. They worshiped God under an ancient name De (vs deus). Men and women were basically equal under their laws, there were three main social classes, and they believed in metempsychosis migration of souls even during life. They had and possibly invented the pottery wheel, and roller bearing supported wheels for their carpat, "Chariots." They used stirrups with a leather strap at the bottom, and roundel spurs. Milk was prized food, as were venison, wild boar and domestic pork, Salmon and trout, spelt and emmert, barley, and millet. Money was reckoned in iron ingots, bronze or copper slugs, and cows. Saffron color was the symbol of nobility, like among the Sakha,  the Scyths.

Remnants of the mass migrationalso back traked to the east and northeast and became outposts of the culture, forming poskets along the various trading routes along what became known as the silk road, surviving into times of written historical records, preserved in ancient caves in the Taklimakan Desert, and in Chinese and Persian archives. Thee would have been records from the Sogdians and Bactrians, but the Macedonians destroyed a lot of these, Han Chinese and Mongols finished the extirpation. Many served in the armies of the various kingdoms and emprires rising and falling in the Levant.

In ancient script, the Gaelic Irish wrote the letter G exactly the same as Gandharvan...this is no coincidence. Truthfulness, integrity, and keeping promises were most valued among the clans. Cow was Bo, horse was Eaqq (vs equos in Latin), wheel was rothar vs rota in Sanskrit, cent was 100 vs sat(-am) in the Persian languages of the times, five was quiq vs pum(p), etc...
