I am going to put my info out to you on the Austin List and see if anyone can help me track back before 1811 in my Austin family line. I have run to a dead end. I am also very new at this. This info I have is from relatives and bible records. I dont know Towns or counties but some or most would have to be possible Bandera County of Medina, TX or Kerville, TExas (? county).
