Surnames: Brunyer/Bruenjes Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/ZVC.2ACE/3609.3 Message Board Post: I've got a Hermann Brunyer/Bruenje/Bruenjes born in 1799 in Hannover who went to England to work in the sugar industry. His father was Johann Martin Bruenjes. Hermann married an English girl and later emigrated to Utah. I know there's an area not far from Bremen (but in the kingdom of Hannover) that has tons of Brunyers/Bruenjes. I haven't found mine, though.
