Welcome
to the Home Page of
the REYNAL Family History!
The site is dedicated to the genealogy of the Reynal family.
Our family originated from France, and we are currently aware the following branches,
all descending from the Toulouse region of France in the early 18th century,
and perhaps even from the Normandy region of France in the early 17th century:
- Branch #1: The Missouri-Texas Reynals, immigrating to the states from France
in the 1700's (perhaps via Nova Scotia), residing today primarily in the US state of Texas.
- Branch #2: The South American Reynals, originating from Catalunya Spain
(region just South of Toulouse France) around 1882, now residing primarily in Argentina as well
as the US state of California.
- Branch #3: The French West Indies Reynals, immigrating primarily to the Martinique region
from France in the 1700's, and on to the US states of New York, Florida, and South Carolina.
- Branch #4: A number of Reynals still reside in France, primarily around Paris.
This site has little or no information on this lineage yet.
The links below will take you to the collection of Reynal stories and information known to date.
- Read the Reynal family story (Branch #1),
titled Dr. Antoine Reynal of Missouri, and many of
his Texas and Missouri Decendents, as revised.
Please read the introduction and
dedication from Tom D. Reynal, compiler of this
edition, last updated 4/26/97, as well as the Preface, by
Patrick J. Costello, from the previous edition, published
November 1984. We recommend that you review the brief introduction and explanation of abbreviations/codes documents first.
- Read the Reynal family story (Branch #2),
titled Memory of one TROBADA (renunion) of the Reynal Family,
as revised. This family story is of the Reynal's of South America.

of names (sorted by lastname + firstname) with
active links! If you're searching for a particular name,

Reynals without known links into one of the lineage
charts (trees).
