I have been tracking down my heritage and it looks like we share the same family. I am the son of Gene Brazel (oregon) who is the son of James Joseph Brazel (Iowa) who is the son of Leo James (or visa versa) Brazel (Iowa) who is the son of a James Brazel (Cleveland, Oh) who is the son of Michael Brazel (ireland). I dont suppose that you have any further history. Interested in a family tree if you have one. Hope this helps and good luck with the history.
