I've listed all mission presidents and hope to list all their wives from the beginning of the first mission in Austria to the present time. (During the many of the early years, no missionaries were actually serving in Austria due to religious persecution. The mission presidents are listed anyway.)

You can follow the links to lists of known missionaries who served with each president, and then from those pages, you can find a page with any known biographical information about each president.

If you remember any other missionaries, know the name of the wife of your mission president, or have any further biographical information, please email me with their names and the president(s) they served with.

I'm also looking for photos of each president and his wife, and photos of large groups of missionaries at mission conference, etc. (See President Farrell Smith, 1987-1990, for examples.) If you have such photos, email me and we'll work out a way to get them online. Thanks.
