The Richard Austin database was the first large American descendant genealogy placed on the Web for use by Austin researchers.  This database has also been used to prepare the beautiful reference book Some Descendants of Richard Austin of Charlestown, Massachusetts, 1638, which is now available for purchase.
	The reference book was result of an eight year project sponsored by the Austin Families Association of America.  Extensive source and biographical documentation has been included for most of the individuals.  This documentation makes full utilization of the Silicon Valley PAF User Group Documentation Guidelines. Meet the Richard Austin database compilers: Jim & Liz Austin Carlin
	Since the publication of the book, five yearly update cycles have occurred. Updates have come mainly via e-mail from readers of the book, Austin researchers, and additional research by the authors. The data presented here on this site represents the complete updated database. For current book owners or new book purchasers, an update document has been prepared keyed to the book's numbering system. This large Acrobat document is available for download at left. It can be read and printed out by using the free Adobe Acrobat reader:  Please note: For privacy reasons, this database follows the criteria for living people. (details.)
