Brazil Family History
Recorded in several spellings including Brassill, Brazil, and Breazeall, this surname has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the South American country. It is Irish, and was formerly only recorded in ancient times in the County of Wexford, in the south east cormer of the country. It derives from the pre 10th century Gaelic O' Breasail, which translates literally as "The descendant of the one involved in strife". Almost all true Gaelic surnames have a nickname as the base, and usually from ten centuries or more ago. These base names referred to the real or supposed characteristics of the then chief...Select Audience

Charles Brazeel
My family is said to be of Irish decent although we have been in USA for 400 years. Henry Brazeel/Brazil/Breazeale came to America in about 1620 to Virginia belived to get away from the injustice of England and the "Plantation Act", I assume the name comes from the Irish Ui Brasail ( from Breasal , son Fedlim , son of Fiacra Crason , son of Colla Fo Chi. My DNA matches other Brazeel/Breazeales in the USA and is l1a-z140 said to be of Viking/Scandinavion origin, I still can't figgure when it got to Ireland probably about 400AD.....

(Part 1 of 3) The Brazil name has a long history in Ireland, but now DNA and some recorded history says its origin is from the north-west region of the Emerald Island. The Brazil (original name: Maelbreasail) story [dominated by DNA tribal marker R1b-L513, Subgroup D2] can trace their beginnings to the Finn Valley in Donegal, Ireland from 50 BCE. Perhaps the journey begins with the Clanna Dedad; Deda, son of Sen or Deda Mac Sin. The Brazil surname origin is from the Cenél Conaill [R1b-L513, Subgroup D] who found the Dál Fiatach.

(Part 2 of 3) A group will also found the Kingdom of Ercing in Wales as trade with Romans will become essential around 300 CE. But how could this be? Recent discoveries from DNA testing are unlocking the migration patterns of Celtic tribes as late as 800 CE to 1200 CE. The Brazil story begins in pre-history Ireland but this line and many of his kin will move to Wales, then travel to Brittany, France during the Dark Ages.

(Part 3 of 3) Discover their newly found untold story and how forgotten texts bring their story back to life. From the ebook, “The Tribe Within” learn how DNA unfolds this amazing tale and if you look in the right places, how history narrates this evidence. There is another written account of their story, but it is camouflaged in smoke and myth – it will become the tales of King Arthur.
