I dont have Brauckmann family ONLY BRACHMANN but just wondered if the spelling of your family just evolved to Brauckmann from Brachmann. My Brachmann family are from BOCHUM, WITTEN, WANNE EICKEL, HERNE, BICKERN, HALLE wstfln, VERSMOLD , LOXTEN, BIELEFELD and Gutersloh- all German and almost all Lutheran, Most of them on IGI are ''mine'' , regards from OMAN , Yvonne
