Your DNA test results

Part 1

So you've gotten your DNA test results back, with several ethnicities listed that you can assign to branches of your tree, but some are a complete surprise. Where did that Native American come from?  Not from your grandfathers, they were both born in Europe. How about your grandmothers?  They have both long since passed away, but you have cousins and aunts and uncles still around to test.

       If your paternal cousins show Native American in their ancestry, but your maternal ones do not, then you can safely assume that your Paternal Grandmother Susan had Native American ancestry.

       What else came from her?  The Irish? Italian?

          Your DNA 2nd cousin, Lauren C., you asked your aunts and uncles and no ones ever heard of her.  You contact Lauren, she is overjoyed to hear from you, and find out you have Finnish ancestry.  She has Finnish ancestry too!!  But she doesn't know where its from, as she never knew her father.  But she was born in San Francisco.  Suddenly, your Uncle Mike Jr. remembers this really great party he went to when he was stationed in San Francisco.  He gets a DNA tests, and Lauren is his daughter, and everyone is happy:
