Hey, I think we are related "somehow". I have taken all your information above and dissected it. I have found the wife of James Toal Sr. (Master Mariner) Mary Ellen listed with her three small children on an Ellis Island passenger record for October 5, 1894, the year you said they came here. I can send via email.
I NEED TO CONFIRM WHO JAMES & FRANCIS' PARENTS ARE AND THEIR INFORMATION. When the two brothers went back to Ireland did they go and live with Bernard Toal and Rose Quinn? There are so many Bernard Toals, I'm going crazy.
I am interested in all of your Toal family information because I am a Toal. My great grandfather is the Francis (Toole) Toal you mention on the 1900 PA census. He married Grace first and then he married a Catharine Eck. Francis and Catharine had: Bernard, Lewis, Francis, Jr. and Henry. Lewis is my relative. I would love to see your tree and find the information I do not have & haven't found yet. Help! My email is:
