During the collection process, many Austin families could not be linked into any of the known lines. As a result, this database serves as a collector for so-called "unplaced" Austins living in States located below the Mason-Dixon line.
This update removes the 288 member line of John & Ann Baden of Albemarle County, Virginia which is now a stand-alone database (See Southern Table), and adds the 93 member line of Loyalist John Austin of North Carolina.
AFAOA Genealogist Liz Austin Carlin continues to review of the contents of this database with the intent of eliminating redundant entries, adding data wherever possible from the Association's paper archives, and most importantly, successfully linking these Austins into already established Austin lines, a process recently accelerated because of the new Austin DNA results that are becoming available.
The formatting has also been standardized, and hopefully, most errors have been discovered and eliminated. The Austin Families Association would be very grateful for any corrections resulting from such verifications. Please forward them to the Compiler.
