In October 2024, the AFAOA Board elected Susan Joy Lewis as AFAOA Genealogist. Carol R. Austin continues to serve as Assistant AFAOA Genealogist.
Research requests are free for AFAOA members and simple inquires from the geneal public will also be honored. If you have a more in-depth research request we suggest you consider joining AFAOA and supporting our charitable and educational mission or consider making a donation. If you send a search request, please include family group sheets (or equivalent information) on each Austin generation as far back as possible, always citing your sources with photocopies of documentation where possible. The more information you provide us, the better the search we can do for you.
