In the absence of rabbis to perform conversions, they married local women who, while consenting to live as Jews, were not halakhically Jewish.

That is an unproven assumption which can never be validated with DNA evidence alone. Show me the historical doccuments.

I doubt there are any. The general concern has been assimilation and loss of Jewish identity, not the creation of not halakhically Jewish Jewish communities.

The evidence is in the genes...and these Jews would likely NOT have had rabbis with them to convert the women.
