Those methods are well known among population genetics researchers, the fact that they are mostly not publicly available is another story. With allelic/haplotypic frequencies of sub-species (Italian, American etc.) one can determine the population origin of an individual. In addition DNA microsatellites evolutionary models are more and more accurate and some suitable markers are available, so we can also have an estimation of the divergence degree.
The fact that these methods are mostly not publicly available is owing to time and money, for example I had the confirmation that the laboratory I told about can provide these methods (they won't because have not the time for that), also they are not astonished that "Antagène" (the French laboratory that provide DNA tests) does not provide it.
