Oswald Family Crest



Did you know the Oswald family has a crest?

Peter Vira has been doing some research on the Oswald family and found this crest. He's not sure what the symbolism is, but will continue researching. I think I mentioned previously that he has a story about the Oswald family dating back to the 1500's. Maya says it is in story format, a bit convoluted, but Maya hopes to get it organized to make a clearer story. I think there is some confusion on names.

Anyway, we are not sure what the family motto is, but we think it should be, in Latin of course, "Leave your shoes at the door!"

Most Barrons that I know hate wearing shoes. They take them off in cars, they kick them off as soon as they enter their home, or any home actually.

As soon as I walked into the Vira home, I was greeted with a display of shoes at the door. Could this be a family trait of the Oswalds? Could this be another family mystery solved? They warmly greeted us and advised us to take off our shoes. When we went to the Krupka's house, we asked if we should take off our shoes, but were advised to keep them on.

So there is another family mystery solved. Oswald's don't like to wear shoes. It's in their soles!
