Talk:Jacques Triger

Jacques Triger, not Jules
The copy of the birth certificate I could get from the Mamers city hall proves that "Jacques Triger" was born in Mamers, France, on March 10, 1801. The French National Library (BNF) has spread this false idea that it was Jules, but actually it is a confusion with his brother with whom he patented a lime kiln improvement in 1849.

As other evidences that it is Jacques and not Jules:

- His first and last name are written amongst other famous names on the Eiffel tower;

- Old technical papers and books, contemporary with Triger, refer him as "Jacques" and not "Jules";

- A "Jacques Triger" street exists in the city of "Chalonnes-sur-Loire", in France, in reference to his local contribution (Coal mines). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.183.40.34 (talk) 19:52, 20 July 2013 (UTC) See the french wikipedia article for more details and explanations.
