Eugène Alcan
Eugène Alcan (1811 – c. 1898) was a French Jewish litterateur, painter, and poet, who embraced Roman Catholic Christianity. He was born in Paris in 1811, and died about 1898. He was a brother of Alphonse Alkan, but the reason for the difference in the orthography of the family name has never been explained. Alcan was the author of the following works: 
 La Légende des Âmes: Souvenirs de Quelques Conférences de Saint Vincent de Paul (1879)
 La Flore Printanière: Souvenirs du Berceau et de la Première Enfance (1882)
