Oshai Faerstein crossed the Prut
river into Husi at the age of 8 to escape the army. He married Mali
Wecsler and they had at least 6 children, some born in Husi and some in
the US. The family traveled to the US in 1888. Oshai died in Glens Falls,
NY and his wife died in Kentucky, where the eldest children were living.
Both Oshai and Mali buried in Glens Falls. Oshia left behind in Romania
one son, Calman, who was the eldest. Calman married a woman from Leova,
and raised his family there. The family left Leova during World War II,
but returned after the war. Calman's two children, Israel and Rahila,
became physicians. Today their descendants are mostly physicians and
engineers living in Israel and
Canada. |
