Hi Herb, I kept looking at the the name Oserwein and finally I thought perhaps there is a letter missing. As nobody could find Oserwein I found Osterwein in what is now Polen. Just a thought! Many times during research I come across towns that have been misspelled at one time or another. Hope this helps.
