Hello,
The name AUTEN OR AUTON came into the Allen/Adams county area abt 1850.
A new genforum page has been started for this name at
http://www.genforum/auten/
This is a quick way to get exposures and hits because it allows for
abbreviated types of queries and responses
The page sponsor informed me that they will delete it if there is
insufficient activity levels, so if you have an Auten puzzle or
question, please post to the forum.

Hello Members / Cuzins & fellow researchers:
I'm new to the list and am looking for our HISTORIAN. Is there a little
"write Up" on ADAMS COUNTY? When it was formed, how the name was
chosen, who was involved, when actual BUSINESS started being
conducted . . . .that sort of thing . . .Thank you so much for your attention
to my post and genealogy in general
Until, Countess
