Family compact

	[No title]
		Wayne, Merrill and Jay Osmond form the group, currently touring with some of the Osmond's greatest hits, several gospel, country and patriotic tunes and the occasional joke.

		According to Wayne, when the brothers began performing professionally in 1957 their original plan was to save money for the oldest boys, Virl and Tom, to serve two-year proselyting missions for their faith, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
