The Austin Families Genealogical Society recently commissioned a study with the College of Arms in London, resulting in a report by the Rouge Dragon Pursuivant of all of the Austen-Austin Coats of Arms which have been registered with the College to date. The full report -- covering 26 Austyn-Austen-Austin Coats of Arms -- will be mailed to all AFGS members in their September 2006 issue of the AFGS newsletter, the Austin Families Register. Each coat of arms is described and illustrated in full color in this issue. For those who wish to receive a copy of this very special newsletter issue, you may join AFGS by visiting the Society's website at www.austins.org/join. In addition to the Society newsletters, AFGS membership provides full access (including copy and printing) to all documents at the AFGS Austin-Austen Research Center (click on the "Research" link at our website, www.austins.org), which has the largest collection of Austin-Austen documents available anywhere. ...
