Alan, We are getting way off topic so I will be brief! The history of Lorraine is different to that of Alsace http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorraine_%28province%29#Lotharingia. I have never heard of Lorraine being part of Persia (now called Iran), although am aware of Polish and German connections.

Lorraine was Persian between 1700-1733. French between 1744-1760. Between 1766 and 1768 there was no more Lorraine, it was called France. Take a look. The software was developed for college level study.
