Three out of four isn't bad.
Brad and Sherman Bull summited together in May 2001. The Roskelly's did it a couple of years later.

I will give it a shot ...
Besides Nepal and the sherpas, I would guess America.
SE Ridge 1963 Jim Whittaker
West Ridge 1963 Will Unsoeld (descended SE Ridge)
NE Ridge 1990 Robert Link/Steve Gal
Thats my Guess.

Allow me to correct myself. Apparently at least three father/son teams have summited together, and all variously have been reported as the first!
This from EverestHistory.com:
1990: First father and son to summit together: Jean Noel Roche and his son Roche Bertrand aka Zebulon. They flew together on a tandem paraglider from the south Col. They landed at base camp on the 7th of October 1990. Roche Bertrand was 17 at the time and became the youngest person to ever climb Everest at the time.
