Jo:
Roots Ireland www.rootsireland.ie has an 1832 baptism for a Thomas Brassell in Co. Waterford. Not sure if this is your Thomas. Roots is a pay site to view their transcription from the church record.

Hi Roger Thanks will try there - also before I was looking for a Walter John Brassell which you replied to me. I traced him to New Zealand where he was born. Thomas is his father so it will be a big break through if we can trace him.
Thanks again
Jo
There are a few Brazils fanilies in County Waterford, these families are located in Kilmacthomas and in the Nire Valley areas.
Hi Eddie ,
Apparrently we were also O'Brassell at one time.Have been to the Mormon Church in Johannesburg and they have a wealth of infomation - need to spend many more hours there to try to get infomation.
Thanks for the reply will try all avenues !
Jo
