No pics. Anything would have been lost when we sold my grandfathers house with everything in it. Where did you go to high school? Who are your parents and greatparents? Right now you are anonymous. Any e-mail?

I have figured out my family to great great grandfather in Germany. But I don't know where in Germany. Actually Prussia. The Austs came into New York through Ct to RI. Then Paul went to Burlington Vt.

Clarence Aust owned Thayer Market on the east side of Providence up by Brown. Thayer Street. If Austs still own it they would possibly know more. Those are the austs in Johnston and Smithfield. They are related.

My mother said after WWII the family sent money over to Germany. Then someone went over and came back and said to stop. There were not any more Austs and the money was going who knows where.
