FAQ

Are you from Brazil (the country) or do you live there?

No. Brazil is an Irish surname. O’Breasail was the original Gaelic family name. Anglicization has caused it to appear under various forms such as Brazil. It rhymes with dazzle, frazzle, and razzle and, therefore, would be pronounced “Brazzle” (brăz’əl).

Is your first name Gerald?

No. It’s Gerard. There is no “L” in Gerard.
