Do you have any surname "Forney" in your book(s)? Particularly looking for a Catherine Forney b. ca 1823 or her family. In the 1820 census the only Forney listed in Berks County is a John Forney in Maidencreek; 1830 census, the only Forney family I find in Berks County is a Jacob Forney in Maidencreek. Thank you.
