Austin Families Assn of America would like to alert you to several recent updates and additions to Austin family research. Several of the updates, including a major addition to "John Austin of Stamford, CT" were triggered by data contributed to the Austin-Austen DNA Project, http://www.austins.org/cgi-bin/DNA.asp . "John Austin of Stamford, CT" was recently updated, and 2 families found in Northern Unplaced Austins - William Austin=Hannah Hoag/ Mary of St. Clair Co., MI and Jason Lee Austin and Eunice/Rosanna of Michigan. "John" can be found on the Austin Families Assn of America Website www.afaoa.org . You can see it in Family Group Sheet style by going to Research - Northern databases - CT John. Or to see it "book" style go to the Text Document Search - Descendancy Books. When searching on a name in Text, there is one minor annoyance, since the Search will only find "exact" matches. When the person is born, or is a parent, no problem. But when the person is the "head" person, there is a Generation Number between the first and last name, and the Search will not locate the person. To find the "Head" and his/her family, search on the parent's name. Since by definition "Unplaced Austins" have no "head of the family", you will only find the information in Family Group sheet format. Research- Northern Unplaced. However, you can do a Text Document Search on places, names,...in our AFAOA Archives, and find some of the supporting documents for these changes.
