Genealogy
and History of the Family TOOKER/TUCKER
Most America genealogy
records for both Tooker and Tucker point back to John Tucker who
emigrated from England to American to escape religious
persecution. He was a Puritan. It is not know, for sure,
why the Tookers used the Tucker form of the name for a time, but
it could of been an effort to escape religious or political
persecution. It appears they began to use the Tooker spelling again at
about the time of the restoration of King Charles II (1660). John’s
son, known as Captain John Tooker (1692), became a prominent citizen of
Long Island, New York, and his brother, Charles, was one of the
original founders of Elizabeth Towne, New Jersey.

About Our CDs
Many of our CDs are composed of collections of
multiple texts and documents concentrating on specific regions or subject
areas. Many contain 5, 10 or more separate publications. Each CD is
truly a reference BONANZA to the home historian with thousands of pages of
research information. The age of most of these text make them
inaccessible to the average researcher. Naturally their scarcity and
fragility makes them very expensive to acquire hence often kept under lock
and key in an effort to preserve them. Unfortunately this also makes them
unavailable for public view. Our CDs are produced by scanning the actual pages
of the original text making them not only excellent resources but archival
copies available for future generations. If you could find a hard copy of any of
these books it would cost hundreds of dollars - individually worth many times the cost of a
CD. The average cost of a single
CD, containing our "theme or regional" based collections has been kept
affordable in an effort to make this information obtainable to as many home
researchers as possible.
Our CDs have become the
ultimate research tool. Having a copy on hand allows research at your leisure
and your schedule while in the comfort of your home. Additionally you can still
print individual or groups of pages as you need directly from your CDs.

otherwise noted most pdf Files are now searchable. Searchable pdf
files allow single or multiple file searches with one
