Hi Jane,
I have a correction for the Austin County, TXGenWeb Project - Cemetery Information web page. I hope this is the correct way to submit it. If not, please advise on other avenues.
My mom, Betty Ulbricht, is listed in the wrong cemetery. She is actually next to my dad in the Cat Spring/Kollatschny Cemetery.
Thank you,
Dana Froebel
