My dad is a retired physicist (and from the first class of Freepers in the nineties) who currently is a historian and geneaologist who has written a number of books.

You've given everything except who your Dad is (his FReeper name that is) and what he has to say about the issue with your son, which seems totally incongruous with your whole story.
So who is he and what does he think?
I've got an idea! Why don't you ping him to the thread so he can tell us, and you, at the same time!

Hmm, not sure why that is incongruous. My dad is super private and pretty paranoid, and keeps his freeper name to himself. My mom doesn’t even know! The only reason I mentioned him at all was to tell you that he is an avid geneaologist.
However, though I am sure you will think I made him up and it won’t matter, he thinks that my son is a natural born citizen.
I think I might know which freeper he is, but I never bug him to tell me, and he doesn’t know who I am (though if he is reading this thread, I am sure he can figure it out!)
I am sure you will not believe that my dad is a long-time freeper, and frankly, can’t say I could blame you, as I don’t know his name around here. If you knew him in real life, you would get it, though. He had a top security clearance for a long time, and doesn’t give out his email address or anything. Very paranoid, and perhaps for good reason.
I think that I have been here long enough to vouch for myself, though, if that’s what you were asking for me to do. If you doubt me, though, and just can’t rest, freepmail me, and I’ll send you a link to his latest book, being sold on amazon. It is not a bestseller, but it did go into it’s second printing, and was a bunch of scandalous stories about the town he was raised in that were published in the local papers about a hundred years ago. He is working on the sequel now.
