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.

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....
We are not relative's with all these name: like Bruner.Bruiner, Broenner,
Bruinstand other Prunner,Pruner.

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.
