(Jun. 5, 2023) — It is unclear at this time who is behind the circulating stories since early March 2023 with disinformation about Ron DeSantis’s mother Karen Ann (nee Rogers) DeSantis’ birth location. The disinformation articles claim she was born in Poland and later moved with her parents to the USA. See the articles here and here.
But that statement per my genealogy research is not true. Most of these sites are not allowing comments to counteract the false information therein. They seem to want it to spread unimpeded and unchallenged. Note: These “clever disinformation use of the place name of Poland” articles may get edited, changed, or “corrected” once the false, deceptive, and misleading statement in them are revealed. Given that I believe this was done as purposeful disinformation to stir up potential constitutional eligibility issues for Ron DeSantis, the articles will likely either disappear or get “corrected” without explanation. So take a screen shot of them or make a PDF copy of the articles as they exist today. And if anyone can learn the true “disinformation apple seed” person or organization behind this campaign, do let me know. Here is one example of the articles now being circulated with disinformation about Ron DeSantis’ mother:

I did some basic genealogy research into where Ron DeSantis’s mother was really born seeking evidence contemporaneous to her early life. To start I needed some basics for her. I found this genealogy chart for Ron DeSantis online. Via that online chart I found her birth year as 1948. See image below.

Any “natural born” question would not involve where a candidate’s MOTHER was born, for pity’s sake. This would be akin to, about twenty years hence, if somehow young Barron followed in his Dad’s footsteps from a political sense, and declared himself a candidate for POTUS, his qualifications being questioned on the basis that his mother, Melania, was born in present-day Slovenia (part of the Yugoslavian Democratic Republic at the time, under Marshal Tito).
