I responded a kind of “WTF?” Email back to him. He responded, this time in English. Turns out the guy is a photographer working in Africa. We traded web site addresses and he is a legit professional photographer with my name and my gmail address. He was born in Straussburg which is 80km from Neuburg, the town my family came from - we may be related.
I have no idea how or why an email sent to me got delivered to a French guy in Africa, or why two people from Alsace were given the same Irish name.

So do you think there's just some sort of randomizer machine that decides which of you got this email sent to your identical addresses? As described by svandamme, you certainly do NOT have the same address.
