Brazil family - Irish Travellers?
« on: Thursday 01 November 18 03:02 GMT (UK) »
I'm looking for the Brazil family in Ireland early 1800s. My ggg grandfather Patrick Henry (?) Brazill was born 1828 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?

Thank you! I decided to post this on the various county pages involved so as to maximize the likelihood of someone who knows the answer(s) seeing it. Sorry if that's not good form! I'm new here.

Welcome to Rootschat  :)

I hadn't noticed you were new, I'd only noticed duplicate headings on various boards.

Having multiple threads is fine if links are provided & also best with so many at one time to direct people to one thread in particular with any replies to prevent duplication of effort i.e. different people looking up the same info. someone else has already found & posted on either thread.

Have already replied on one of your threads!!


Too busy to reply 4 or 5 times to each thread!

There is a reply there if you want to copy and paste it on every thread you have, then people will not be wasting time posting what I've already posted!

Hi there,

I have removed the duplicated topics with no replies to leave just the one topic for folk to post on. Topics can be moved from board to board if required, to do this you just click on the button that says "report to moderator" and let us know where you want your topic to go.

Regards

Sarah :)
