Birong Name Study

Profile managers: Lori Zukerman [send private message] and One Name Studies WikiTree [send private message]

This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place everything about one surname and the variants of that name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect. Please contact the project leader, add categories to your profiles, add your questions to the bulletin board, add details of your name research, etc.

I started this page to primarily study the Birongs that immigrated to the US. If they originated in the Banat area of Austria-Hungary (aka Yugoslavia, today mostly Serbia), they are related. The family history has the Banat Birongs originating in Alsace- Lorraine. Hoping to prove or disprove that and collect all US and European Birongs here.
