I have heard several people indicate their ancestors orginated from Alsace Lorraine, and I believe it mostly to be generalization of the area.
My husband has Kirsch in his family and was told they came from Alsace Lorraine.  After some lengthy research I discovered they came from Luxembourg. Well that is close.
By the way Kirsch is as common in Luxembourg as Jones is in Wales.

  And, how about our family name SAMPERT, Lutherans that moved to Tomazov-Maz, Congress Poland and later To Alberta, Canada ?
   Family oral  history tells us they may have originated from the Alsace Lorraine area.
  Sampert doesn't sound like a French name to me.
