Mark:
There are many aircraft out there flying every day that were damaged sometime during their years in service; repaired correctly, this is a mute issue. That said, you are going in the right direction having an AP/IA go over the logbooks. This may take some time, so please allow for it; it's in your best interest to take the time now! I know this much, there's nothing like an old square tail!
Hang in there. If you need any help, just yell.
