You can put the haplogroup to Google Search. You get lot of answers. For example this:

There is another not so obvious area those people migrated to.

The following reference is buried in the English Wikipedia under the entry Petyhorcy, so I am listing it here.

In short, warriors and their families from this region were migrating to Poland*** from late 1500s to 1700s and had status equal to that of Polish nobles. Intermarriages were possible, especially since the women looked like the Polish women, just a little more beautiful...

So..., your most distant female ancestor you know could have lived anywhere in the area of modern Poland or the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, but the original mtDNA line came from the Caucasus region.

Given what I had presented above, I would venture that the reason was that Ashkenazim had an admixture from relatives of some of your ancestors, and not the other way around.

Mr. W

P.S.
Of course any individual or any family might have their very unique genealogy.
