"Etymology: perhaps alteration of Scots bruis broth, from Middle English brewes, from Anglo-French broués, plural of bruet, broué broth, mash, of Germanic origin; akin to Old High German brod broth. A scottish dish made with oatmeal.
Merriam Webster"
But if you assume that your ancestors came from Scotland you may be wrong, they may have come from Germany! I suggest you go to Rootsweb.
