Ireland / Brazil family - Irish Travellers?
« on: Thursday 01 November 18 03:23 GMT (UK)  »
I'm looking for the Brazil family in Ireland early 1800s. My ggg grandfather Patrick Henry (?) Brazill was born 1828 and lived in either County Kilkenny or Killarney and was a sailor going back and forth from Cork to America (before he met and married the local lord's daughter in Ireland and went with her to America in the 1850s or so). His father was born "on sea" so seems also to have been the son of a sailing family of some sort (?) or maybe while being sent to Ireland, I don't know. I have genetic matches with several descendants of Travellers including a Brazil. But most Brazils seem to be in England. Any help appreciated!

Also are the Brazills Travellers or Romany or both? I've seen people say they are both?

PS moderator, I apologize for posting this several places - figured I should go on the county-specific boards as well.
