They have US passports, the wife has Irish and Dutch ancestry, though I'm not sure how far back. I also think I remember correctly that her Irish ancestor left Ireland in disgrace and fleeing the law...

Re: UK/EEA dual citizen - EEA non-EU Spouse Family Visa?

I don't think I'm willing to do that, what a ridiculous set of rules we have! I guess we'll see how getting Portguese citizenship works out or I'll just cope with the visa fee.

As for biological...
