Surnames: Rainer, Krining, McArter, Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/mh.2ADI/478 Message Board Post: This book has no cover, and no index, and no author. I bought it on Ebay; it just has the insides, but it is full of Indiana biographies. I am not researching this family, just thought I would share. I do not know anymore about these families or these surnames. NOTE: I don’t know if there is any additional mention of this family in the book, it has no index. I do not want to sell this book. I am typing the biographies from it. Typed by Lora Radiches: Surnames in this biography are: Rainer, Krining, McArter, ALFRED P. RAINIER, M.
