SOME DESCENDANTS OF

RICHARD AUSTIN
OF CHARLESTOWN,
MASSACHUSETTS, 1638
by Jim and Liz Austin Carlin

Contents:

•	720 pages of genealogical data on 12,200 individuals (over 7,500 Austin surnamed individuals).
•	109 photographs of Austin family members, many of them dating back to Civil War days.
•	Special 108 page name index, where individuals are alphabetically arranged by given name, augmented by their birth and death data where known.
•	Wherever possible, thorough documentation is listed for each event in each individual's genealogy, based on primary, secondary and tertiary sources.

Over seven years in preparation, this reference book is based on the material first published by Edith Austin Moore in her 1968 edition. That work has been carefully analyzed and corrected where possible, and then updated by extensive further research and the contributions of 189 Austin family genealogists.

Since the publication of the book, three 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:
