Surnames: LaFerney Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lMB.2ACI/255.1506.1.1 Message Board Post: My great grandparents were Samuel LaFerney who married Eizabeth (last name?). I don't know how many brothers & sisters Samuel had, but he had at least one brother named Louis, which my grandfather William Louis LaFerney (who was born in 1918) was named after. William "Bill" LaFerney was one of 11 children. Two died during the flu epidemic in the 1910-1920's. Most of the rest ended up in Michigan, with a few staying in Missouri. All of these children are now deceased, but my father, Jerry LaFerney, knows the history pretty well.
