There are a number of barner orgins but the one I like is the one from Germany where is is said that around 999 one of the attackers after fighting to take a castle swam the mote with a torch in his left hand and set it on fire helping to defeat the occupants
He became known as the berner (the burner). This name later became Berner, Varner and Barner. (See the History Of The Barner Family, compiled by the Royal Danish Chamberlain Konrad von Barner of the House of Zaschendorf-Eskildstrup who died at Wiesbaden on August 13, 1903.The Barner family in Pa. decendents of Adam Barner will be able to provide access to te book along with other information.
