 </span></blockquote>No. The border is older. Remember that Alsace-Lorraine was annexed to <br/>
Germany only from 1871 to 1919. Before that, it was French. And <br/>
before 1839, DEFRLU was DEFRNL. In fact, the marker numbering from <br/>
BEDENL (no. 193) up to DENL2NINWOV (no. 862) starts here with no. 1!<br/>
<br/>
So N.I. = NL ??<br/>
