TOOLE  FAMILY GENEALOGY RESOURCES PAGE

NORTH AMERICAN EDITION

Welcome to the Toole Family Genealogy Resources Page, North American Edition.  This site contains information and resources on the Tool, Toole, Tooley, Towl and Toal families in the United States and Canada.  This site began in January 1999 as the Southern Edition, with information  primarily on North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, and Texas.  In March 1999, the site was expanded to cover all of North America.  I rely upon the generosity of other researchers of the Family to expand the offerings of this site.  If you have information that you would like to share please contact me.

This site was developed by and is maintained by Sanford Toole.  I am a descendant of Anderson Tool, who I first found listed in the 1850 Barnwell County, SC census with his wife, Mary, and family.  In August 2007, Bobbie Grant, my cousin, found documentation in the SC Ancestral Magazine that Anderson Tool was the son of Luke Toole.  Luke Toole was the son of Issac Toole of Barnwell County, SC.  Sara Toole Beeland found the original source document in the Barnwell County courthouse.

This site is for the use of all persons researching the Tool, Toole,  Tooley, Towl and Toal families, and any other variations on spelling of the surname.   While I cannot guarantee the absolute accuracy of all material on the site, I can give you source citations, upon request, of material that I have personally researched.   I will expand this site to include as many branches of the Toole family for which I can obtain information.  Information contained within this web site may not be published, either in print or to another web site, without the written permission of Sanford Toole.

Documentation found proving Anderson Tool was the son of Luke Toole of Barnwell County SC (August 2007).  Special thanks to Bobbie Grant and Sara Beeland.
