Dad's side:
My grandmother is a mix of Portugese and Brazillian...her mom's family from Brazil and father's from Portugal.
My grandfather's family came from Denmark somewhere...but that was a LONG time ago. Both sides settled in Massachusettes, which is where they still are.
Mom's side: (a little more complicated!)
My grandfather's family came from Northern England somewhere, and settled in Western New York.
My grandmother is unsure of her ancestry because her father was left on the doorstep of a monastery. The story is that he was the 'love-child' of a daughter of a wealthy NY family, who got pregnant by a stable boy or something...his adopted family is of German decent. Her mother is also of English decent.
