The History of Oshel

The following is a collection of stories, anecdotes, and Biographies,
that, as a total anthology of the oral and written story, constitutes
an overall history of the Oshel family.
"The whole is greater than the sum of it's parts"

This section of our site will always be in a state of construction as this is a never ending story.
If you have any stories, anecdotes or biographies, whether it was a story told to you as a child,
or something you experienced first hand, I encourage you to submit it here.
It is especially important that the older members of the family document and submit them here
so they can be archived and not lost to the generations yet to come.
