Austin County Texas

PLEASE NOTE:   I do not live in Austin County and cannot do research.

NOTE:  I only do transcribing and helping people with genealogical research.  I have nothing to do with the cemetery, so if you are looking for information on purchasing plots or rules and regulations of the cemetery, contact the caretaker or a local funeral home.

World War I Veterans

Most of the Information provided here was collected and supplied by Joy Neely.

Our sincere appreciation for her ongoing efforts to supply genealogical data to us all!

If you are aware of other available military records or can provide us with such records, please contact Jane Keppler.
