geni had a possibility to search also with the function : sounds like ... etc. and by that I was able to find many ALIAS-ses for other SUR-names too, so maybe some-one Mike Stangel knows where it is now on this platform. Sometimes is it so difficult to 'onthouden' -don't know in english and no dictionary here- all the nice features of this software, were we all can make good content... jMu.

that ok, for we can only learn FROM others and teach with good PRACTICE, don't you think?

We removed Soundex and Metaphone matching because very few people used them, and they were causing our search index to take three times as long to build.

a pity, but understandable. hopefully there will be an alternative some time...in the future?

Hello BRUNNER-family-members, if you search them in GENI, you should use the SUR-name~FAMILIE-naam-&-CETERA-feature:

Search results on 2012-VI-28 with SUR-names
* BRUNNER > http://www.geni.com/surnames/brunner : 1234 results !
* Bruner : http://www.geni.com/surnames/bruner : 158x
* Pruner : http://www.geni.com/surnames/pruner : 91x
* Prunner : http://www.geni.com/surnames/prunner : 48x
* Broener : http://www.geni.com/surnames/broener : NO results yet... BUT

* Broenner : http://www.geni.com/surnames/broener : 2x maybe coming from GERMANY ? :
* Johann Georg Hugo Broenner
* Katharina Eibeck (Ibeck)

Maybe this family worked in the PRUIMEN-teelt, a fruit-species with lots of rassen en soorten. groeten uit holland, europe, where we love these 'Obst', green or blue. PRUIM - see wikipedia-nl:

BUT Bruner can also be explained by: more BROWNISh then a browny, so maybe family of slaves ??? In Dutch we have the adjective:
BRUIN - BRUINER - BRUINST for the ones who love to sit in the sun at the beach of SCHEVENINGEN....

What is the issue of your remark? For the only purpose of this contribution is to show how you can image or get ALIAS-ses of your surname, and when you are tired of GENI, please take you conclusions, for who is the one who mixes BRUNEAU with PRUNEAU or other spelling-variations or FAULTS, ofcourse, but that can happen on any genealogy-platform, i I have seen already so many historical ways of name-changes, not only in the country of origine, but as soon as migrations are occurring, everyone is loosing ancestry just by spellings-variations. And when a agri-culturalist is involved -i visited the Agricultural university of the Netherlands- so many times the profession became the name of the family.

groeten van jeannette from holland, europe.
