Early Origins of the Barong familyThe surname Barong was first found in Devonshire where "the peer and the Baronet descend from John Baring of Devonshire, Esq., (XVIII. cent.) son of John Baring, minister of the Lutheran church at Bremen, in Saxony, whose ancestors had been either municipal officers or Lutheran ministers of that city from the time of the Reformation." 1 Earlier records do show John Bering in Somerset, 1 Edward III (during the first year of King Edward III's reign.) 2 Early History of the Barong familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Barong research.

Barong Spelling VariationsBefore the last few hundred years, the English language had no fast system of spelling rules. For that reason, spelling variations are commonly found in early Anglo-Saxon surnames. Over the years, many variations of the name Barong were recorded, including Beckering, Becking, Bearing, Baring, Bering and others.

Migration of the Barong familyTo escape oppression and starvation at that time, many English families left for the "open frontiers" of the New World with all its perceived opportunities. In droves people migrated to the many British colonies, those in North America in particular, paying high rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Although many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, those who did see the shores of North America perceived great opportunities before them. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Research into various historical records revealed some of first members of the Barong family emigrate to North America: A. Baring, aged 40, who arrived at Ellis Island, in 1893; Alex Baring, aged 60, who arrived at Ellis Island from London, England, in 1908; Alexander Baring, aged 59, who arrived at Ellis Island from Hythe, England, in 1907.
