1. Both the relative and his parents (whose parents were foreign-born of foreign parents) were born in a foreign consulate located in Cambridge. Not likely. 2. Cambridge has been around for quite some time, has it not? This is the answer. I note with interest that on the Make/Model part of the page I am currently on, Delorean is available, but the Plymouth Valiant and Belvedere are not. Shame!!! ---

According to the Cambridge, MA web page, the name was changed to Cambridge in 1638. That would be 140+ years before the United States existed. Plenty of time for a set of parents and their son to be born and die there. I hope they have a specific person in mind, with a reference to the tombstones in a particular cemetery. In theory there could be many such men, but they should be able cite one specific example. ---

My answer was that the man was a slave. No citizenship there.???
