I woulnt say its impossible the Nords were in the Reach before the Reachmen. As they are not a mix of nords and bretons but just bretons in general who were there since highrock held claim to the reach from ages past. They are indeed from after the first Atmorans settled so that would technically assume that the Atmorans bred with native elves of the Reach and Highrock to create the first Bretons and then held the land there until all of Skyrim was conquered and settled by the first "Nords" and have likley held a grudge against the kingdom of Skyrim and the Nords ever since
