I am looking for information regarding the

Following ;

Toole's from Nova Scotia

Gunns who I believe were in Ontario but  my nanny thinks they may have come from London, England . She's just not sure because her family didn't talk about him much .

And Tanners (Ella May )  who my nanny believes was originally a New Yorker. She does know for a fact that she was  an American but I believe they grew up in Ontario

Start with what you know.

The profiles indicate that some of your grandparents are still living. Have you asked them about themselves, their parents and other family?

Then take what you think you know about family, and search in FamilySearch (it's a good place to start because it's free and it has a lot of good content) for records for your grandparents. Enter name, a range of dates (for example if you think someone was born in 1928, I'd enter 1925 to 1930 for the birthdate, to catch records that have the date a year or two off), and place names, and see if you can find them. Some types of records will contain names and dates for parents, siblings, etc., which should help you start WikiTree profiles for them, and give you information to use in additional searches.

Thank you . Unfortunately what I've posted sbove is what I was told by my grandmother. Her family never talked About her dad so she doesn't know much about him .  And her mother they didnt realize was an American until she passed.  She said their family never talked about where they came from or anything .  

I thank you for the advice . I've been searching the internet for any info possible .
