Ruth:
I believe that we are likely cousins of some sort.I just stumlbed upon this post doing a Google search for some of deceased father's children's books.My father, Kelly Oechsli was born in Butte, Montana in 1918 and moved to Seattle, Washington in 1924.I believe that his ancestors migrated from Switzerland in the ~ 1850's. My grandfather was named Orden Oechsli and his family originally hailed from Missouri (via Ohio).My mother, who is still alive (Helen Oechsli) likely knows the name of a few other Oechsli's of earlier generations (i.e., Orden' father and grandfather). After serving in the 10th Mountain Division during WWII, Kelly moved to New York and had a career as a commercial artist.I live in CT., have a brother Matt who lives in North Carolina, a sister Kate in Georgia and a sister Eileen in Mass.I noticed that your original post was about 3 years ago, so hopefully my response still reaches you.Would love to learn more about the Oechsli/Exley lineage.
