Explanation:
Native place 用的比较多, Father's birthplace 更准确但是外国读者很难理解这是什么意思,因为没有人care 另一个人父亲的出生地。

如果您更想忠實於原文,就用Father's place of birth, 這是最準確的意思。

根据政府的固定, 这个词的准确意思是“The name of the place where Paternal grand father 's household is registered:


参照公安部公通字[1995]91号文件,公民的籍贯应为本人出生时祖父的居住地(户口所在地);祖父去世的,填写祖父去世时的户口所在地;祖父未落常住户口的,填写祖父应落常住户口的地方;公民登记籍贯后,祖父又迁移户口的,该公民的籍贯不再随之更改。
