Welcome to San Augustine County. Located on the Old San Antonio Road, known as "El Camino Real de los Tejas" that early settlers traveled to the beautiful Piney Woods of East Texas. San Augustine is the home of the first university, churches of all denominations, and the first American settlement in Texas. The abundant history in our area is evident in over 50 recorded Texas Historical Landmark homes and sites. We hope you will find this site helpful in your search for your ancestors. 

My name is Suzanne Sowell.  I have lived in San Augustine most of my life and have deep roots here.  Genealogy is a great joy for me and I enjoy sharing with others.  I hope to make our rich history more accessible through this site.  Please share any genealogical information by e-mailing Suzanne Sowell.

Barbara Yancey Dore maintained this page for many years.  She deserves many thanks.  She has decided to serve as the co-coordinator for the county. 

Remember TXGenWeb is totally volunteer so any and all help is appreciated.  We have many cemeteries to update and lots of histories that can be shared.  Please Help!
