While visiting the site I hope that you will find valuable information to aid in your research for families in Austin County.
All information on this site is FREE for your personal use. If you paid to view any of these pages, please contact me. If you have questions, suggestions or comments, please feel free to email me. To submit information please email me. We accept any kind of record that reflects the history of the area or contains information on its inhabitants. We are especially interested in transcriptions of original records like (but not limited to) marriage, birth and death indexes, marriage, birth and death certificates, land records, military records, Family Bible records, census records, wills and their probates, or lists of cemetery burials. We would love to include your information on this site whether it contains information on one person or a thousand. If you have something of interest, please contact me.

I must thank the previous coordinators, Joy, Steve and Linda for all the hard work and hours they have put into this project. TXGenWeb needs more volunteers like them so if you are interested contact me.
