The FORNEY family name

Our family’s original name was
Fornasiero

I don’t have the original dates we came here, but we are, as many of you know, from

Venice, Italy

When our family came to the United States, I am told that the oldest of the (original) Fornasiero’s, Arthur, also known as "Bill", suggested the family do as many other family’s did, and make our last name easier for people to pronounce, therefore shortening it to

Forney
