This is one of my hobbies. I use this method in adoption searches.
People trying to find birth parents or grandparents.
Or searching for a mystery ancestor.

It requires a good knowledge of autosomal and MtDNa and YDNA.
And very good skills in genealogy, this must be impeccable.
And of course investigative skills and logical reasoning ability.

If you have a DNA sample and some patience you can identify most Americans.
