Talk:Marie Tussaud

Madame Tussaud was French, not German.
I may be wrong, but as far as I know she was not German, but French, her father was German, but she never knew him, her mother was French, and she was born in France. She became involved in the French Revolution. I don't know how she could be a German, born in France, from a French mother, but with the nationality of her father. Her birth name is Anne-Marie or Marie, not Anna Maria. All the French documents I saw (where she was born) gives this name. http://data.bnf.fr/11939749/marie_tussaud/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:E35:8A8D:FE80:2879:FEED:E9F4:D78 (talk) 13:17, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah she was born in France. But the link doesn't assert her birth name, just variations of her name. The Oxford DNB ref has her as Anna Maria. Spellcast (talk) 01:28, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
 * -1. Really? This is typical of our modern approach but the historic situation is different. Why should her German father marry a French woman? Her maiden name Walder sounds rather German to me and I doubt that he spoke French at all. She probably grew up with German as her first language: At that time, Strassburg in Alsatia was a town of German culture - occupied by French military but with a customs union eastwards and a customs border towards France which mattered quite a lot. Her mentor Philipp Curtius was German, too. The French WP doesn't specify her nationality in the way the English does - perhaps for all these reasons. I don't think it correct to attribute her as French only. --Kolya (talk) 07:36, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
