Since many Alsatians (people in Alsace-Lorraine, France) spoke more German than French, they were often called Germans when they emigrated to other nations. For example, some of the "Germans from Russia" were actually from Alsace-Lorraine, instead of from Germany. See the [[Germany Emigration and Immigration|Germany Emigration and Immigration]] and the [[Germans from Russia|Germans from Russia]] Wiki articles for important emigration records that include German-speaking Alsatians of France.
