Precisions on nationality edit

Théodore Gardelle was born in the Republic of Geneva (1541-1798 and 1813-1815), and died long before 1798. (The Republic of Geneva was briefly annexed by France (1798-1813) and became the capital city of the département du Léman). In 1815 Geneva joined the Swiss Confederacy. Before 1815, a Genevan was either … Genevan or, very briefly, French.Sapphorain (talk) 08:25, 14 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
