It is just east of Dallas - in Kaufman County, if my memory is correct. What are the names of your ancestors there? My grandfather, Fred McCree, was living in Forney in the 1890 - 1910 time period, and then moved in to Dallas. My gg-grandmother and g-grandmother are both buried in Forney. Vicki Hill
