Brossart Family Genealogy Welcome to our website! As we currently understand, our direct line of Brossart ancestors originated in Normandy, France. They were taken  from France and founded the prison colony of Büchelburg, Germany in 1692. Büchelburg records the family name changing slightly over time. Originally spelled Bronsar, then Bronsart, before settling upon Brossart. They were farmers and blacksmiths. War led the family to move to the United States in 1851. They eventually settled in the Campbell County region of Kentucky. Of that immigrant farming family, Ferdinand Brossart rose to bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Covington Kentucky. As such, he is the only local person ever to hold that position.
