Genetic genealogy is the application of genetics to traditional genealogy. Genetic genealogy involves the use of genealogical DNA testing to determine the level and type of the genetic relationship between individuals.

Your cousin might have more Norwegian genes than what the records show. A DNA test might clear up how much Norwegian ancestry is there. Without it, tough to tell if your cousin has over 25% Norwegian DNA.

Can siblings have different percentages of a given ancestry?

Ditto question for first cousins.
Yes, absolutely to both!!!

To clarify, if father is 100% Italian and mother is 0% Italian can children have different percentages of Italian DNA or would they all have 50%?

One of the questions I have is whether I inherited more Italian ancestry than my siblings (which you would suspect given our physical appearances and cultural preferences) so I wondered what DNA testing can reveal.
