Classification: Query
Surnames: Ullum, Farni, Farney
Sarah Alice V Ullum married Joseph C Farni Jr. b. 16 May 1866 in Farnisville, IL.
His parents were:
Joseph C. Sr. Farni, b Mar 1825 in Pennsylvania.
Catherine Unknown, b 1834 in Canada.
In Hanover, Pennsylvania there was a group of Farney families descended from Johan Adam Forney. He emigrated from Wachenheim-in-the-Haardt, in Alsace/Lorraine in 1721. I believe that our Joseph Sr. was one of them and changed the spelling of his name.
My mother says that Joseph E, her grandfather, had won a slot in the Lottery for the Oklahoma Land Rush. She said that is how the Farni's wound up in Oklahoma
