European settlers started colonizing the Barbary Coast from 1830 when France conquered Algiers from nominal Ottoman control. These settlers came from all over the Catholic parts of the western Mediterranean, particularly coastal and island regions in the present-day countries of Italy, France, Spain, and Malta. They became known as colons or pieds-noirs. The Algerian Jews, however, had a different history. While a Jewish presence had existed since late Roman times, the majority had arrived as refugees from the Reconquista aroun ...

In just a few months in 1962, 900,000 of these Europeans and Jewish people left the country, the first prior to the referendum (held in Metropolitan France and for which by an unprecedented decision of the de Gaulle government they were not allowed to vote), in the most massive relocation of population in Europe since the Second World War. The motto among the European and Jewish community was "Suitcase or coffin" ("La valise ou le cercueil"). The French government had not planned that such a massive number would leave; at the most, it ...

In the 1970's the French government finally sent a mission to Algeria to copy the birth, marriage, and death certificates in the main cities and towns of former European settlement, but village records were not copied, with the result that even today some pieds-noirs in France ar ...
