Barringer book index searchable table
The Barringer, et al inscriptions index table contents below were contributed in 2005 for MIGenWeb use by Betty Brokoff Barringer and “the Cemetery Club” members Carlie Welker Klumpp, Barbara Briggs Foster and JoEllyn Lawson Pedota, from the book Arenac County Michigan Cemetery Inscriptions.²  

The burial information provided may be name, section and row location, dates, and inscription. There currently is no St Johns Byzantine Cemetery map. When using the index on-site, read rows from north to south beginning at the northwest corner. Inscriptions transcribed by Willow Slusser.

We’ve modified the Barringer book index format to create a searchable table. The compiler retains all rights. When you see “same stone,” this means two or more inscriptions share that stone. If you see “same stone” for your individual, look at the alphanumeric code in the left column, sort the page by the Index order column, and then look for that individual’s number to find who else is associated with that stone. You may find important information (like marriage dates and relationships) about that person when you see what is inscribed about others who share that stone. You can more clearly see the shared stone and burial juxtapositions on our PDF of the Barringer book burial index that appeared on the old MIGenWeb site.

Contributor submissions often provide detail directly from the family that may lead a researcher to more resources. If you have information you’d like to share about cemetery section & row location or you’d like to share a documented source with the online family history community, contact MiGenWeb/Arenac coordinator.
