I found in a canadian census where it listed Jacob, Nicholas and the family as German.....but everything I have says they came from France exept Catherind Bauldauf, who was born in Germany. Can you shed some light on this?

Alsace-Lrroaine was under different covernment re: annexed by germany at different times. Wgen it wa sunder German annexation folks coming fomr there were recorded as coming from Germany... when under France wher eit belongs they were listed as from France; this is the rule of thumb anyway. Can be a bit confsuing.
