Here's some info.... France: Alsace - Loraine: Geographically part of France, Alsace-Loraine is divided into three French departments, following the national French system. Historically it is one of those areas which has changed hands several times as a result of war. The departments are: Bas-Rhin [German - Unterfilsass], Haut-Rhin [German - Oberfilsass] and Moselle [German - Lothriwgen]. During the period 1871 to 1918 the area was a federal state of the German Empire. For a long period the territory of the department of Belfort [Welschundsgau] remained, until 1870, part of Alsace, with some 40% of the population German speaking. >On the census document my grandmother indicate that she was from vordura, Alscase, Loraine.
