AUSTIN FAMILY genealogists from around the United States (and England) will be meeting in Richmond, Virginia on 20-22 June 2003 for the 2003 National Austin Convention, sponsored jointly by the Austins of America Genealogical Society (AOAGS) and the Austin Families Association of America (AFAOA). Workshops and Talks will help those with AUSTIN-AUSTEN-OSTEN, etc. roots to trace them further back. Seasoned genealogists and the world's largest collection of Austin historical and genealogical data is available at this convention, and we are eager to help you discover your Austin roots. Bring along your old Austin portraits for scanning to disk to preserve them for future generations. The Convention will be held at the Richmond Crowne Plaza Hotel, 555 East Water Street, Richmond.
