There are 10 William Austins meeting a 1927 birth and 8 meeting a 1928 birth,
nationwide, who died up to and including August 1999.
No Twila's or Twyla's in California meeting the birthdate of 1948-1850 were
listed, so she probably will still be alive, as expected. However, 11 Twila's
with those birthdates 1948-1950 died in other states. 5 Twyla's died as well.
You can check the SS Death Index at
http://www.rootsweb.com and search the
database yourself.
Did you check Monterey marriage records for any William Austin married in the
years following your birth? Also, did you submit a query to the county
discussion list where that town is located in California? Be sure to let them
know what you have done already to find your father. It can't be that difficult.
If he died, it'd be documented someplace there.
Also, you don't know for sure that he was in his early 70s. People do lie about
their ages for different reasons. If you see his birth certificate, that's one
place he can't lie! You can get his birth certificate with no problem if you are
his son, and at least you can probably get a court order to release it.
