As can be seen from this link (http://www.wargs.com/political/dole.html), his heritage seems to have been overwhelmingly British, with English surnames predominating, as well at least two Scottish ones (Ewen and Corson); he had an Irish-born great-grandmother with the surname Callan (clearly of native Irish origin), as well as an Irish-born great-great-grandmother, although whether the latter was actually Irish or the descendant of English or Scottish transplants is unclear (her surname was Law, which suggests an Anglo-Irish background).
The only surname at that link that is obviously non-British Isles is Carstensen, which turns out to be North German, Danish, or Norwegian, although Dole's ancestor with that surname is quite distant, dating to the seventeenth or eighteenth century.
