Re: names/origin & meaning
Re Brule, it certainly looks like a French name. It might have been respelled in English as Brulea to preserve the accented e at the end, and to prevent naive readers from prounouncing it Brool. The following web site makes reference to a source of study in Canada of Brule as a last name. It's in French. Aloha from Hawaii. http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/GEN-FF/1997-04/0860616554
