Some native please help me out. All my life I pronounced the e in Guerneville, but all the news people leave it silent. Is it Gurneyville or Gurnville?

People who know it pronouce it Groin-ville, as the place is filled with gays and other similar types.

If you don't live there you can pronouce it anyway you like.
I have heard both, but in the area they say Gurn'ville.

or Gurnville? That's my take on it. I live in Eureka about 150 miles north.
