Have the BORDERS of Alsace-Lorraine stayed the same through-out the years? I realize it has gone back and forth between France and Germany and now it's part of France. For some reason I had always thought my fathers side of the family came from the Alsace-Lorraine region. However, my fathers side of the family were German speaking and came from the Trier area of, Borg, Orscholz, Eft, and Bitburg. Were they part of Alsace- Lorraine during the 1700s and 1800s? Is Rettel, France part of Alsace-Lorraine now?
