Austin List Subscribers... Please do not use the Austin List for e-mail which is non-Austin related. We do our best to filter commercial "spam", etc., but Austin List subscribers still occasionally use the list for communicating with others on non-Austin related matters. Each time this occurs, we receive a number of "unsubscribe" requests... people on the Austin List do not want to be bothered reading non-Austin related e-mail. Please note that repeat offenders will be permanently removed from the Austin List. So this e-mail itself will not be totally unrelated to Austins, we are pleased to announce that the Plaza Hotel in Salt Lake City has extended the deadline by a week (to 12 July) for reserving your room for the 1998 National Austin Convention at our special Group rate (see details below)... Please reserve your room ASAP, and please be sure to register with Alice Martin (so we can get an accurate headcount and prepare your Convention nametags), and please include the names and birthyears of your earliest three known generations of your Austin line... this goes on your nametag, to make it easier to spot your "cousins" at the Convention! This year's Convention is being jointly sponsored by the Austin Families Association of America and the Austins of America Genealogical Society. It is shaping up to be one of the best National Austin Conventions ever... we hope you decide to join us in Salt Lake City, meet other Austin genealogists and to visit the LDS Family History Library, a terrific place to dig into your family roots!
