I have had a lot of help but I am asking a history question.  My Great grandfather, Jean Francois Alexandre Durand was born in 1851 in a part of the country that reverted from France to Germany and back again.  Should I research his records in Germany or France? I have tried to learn about the back and forth from one country to the other.  I am pretty sure it was the Franco Prussian War that began in 1870 that Alsace and Haut Rhin was in German hands and reverted back to France in 1918.  Am I correct in assuming this?  If so, Alexandre Durand would have been born in France and died in Germany.  He was born in 1851 and died in 1897.   Am I correct in this assumption?

Thank you for any help,
