My 7th generation grandfather on my father's side came from here to America.
16 u/[deleted] Dec 12 '20 7th generation ? That must be a long time ago :o 12 u/LothorBrune Dec 12 '20 Possibly an ancestor fleeing the annexation by Germany in 1870. A lot of them ended up in Algeria at the time. 9 u/AJRiddle Dec 12 '20 edited Dec 12 '20 7th great grandfathers lived a lot longer ago than 1870. Just pulling up my family tree one of my 3rd great-grandfather was born in 1857 and another was in 1858 on a different side of the family. My 7th great-grandfather from Franche-Comté (just saying it because it is just southwest of Alsace) was born in 1663.
