Pisac donosi životopis Andrije Novosela (*13.X.1935. †1.II.2008.), koji je rođen i proveo cijeli svoj život u Desincu pokraj Jastrebarskog. Bio je obiteljski čovjek. Sa svojom suprugom Ljubicom rođ. Galović rodio je troje djece: Stjepana, Ivana i Nevenku. Bio je zauzet u životu župne zajednice Sv. Ivana Krstitelja u Desincu, a poznat je u svojoj župi i okolnim mjestima kao dobar čovjek i dobar gospodar. Bio je član crkvenog odbora župe Desinec (1993.-1999.) i Društva za povjesnicu Zagrebačke nadbiskupije “Tkalčić” (2001.-2008.). Posebnost ovog životopisa je u tome što se radi o osobi koja nije poznata u širem javnom životu Hrvatske, ali zbog njegova članstva u društvu “Tkalčić” ovim životopisom sada postaje poznat i toj široj javnosti. U prilogu životopisu donesena su dva oproštajna govora, izrečena na Novoselovu pogrebu, kao i popis svih članova roda Novosel iz Desinca s kraja 19. do početka 21. stoljeća, kao pomoć oblikovanju rodoslovlja roda Novosel iz Desinca.

Summary: Andrija Novosel from Desinec (*13.X.1935 †1.II.2008).

The author presents biography of Andrija Novosel (*13.X.1935 †1.II. 2008), who was born and spent his entire life in Desinec near Jastrebarsko. He was a family man. He and his wife Ljubica (neé Galović) had three children: Stjepan, Ivan and Nevenka. He was involved in the life of the parish community in the parish of St. John the Baptist in Desinec and was known in his parish and surrounding towns as a good man and wise manager. He was a member of the parish choir in Desinec (1993-1999) and the “Tkalčić” Association of History of the Zagreb Archdiocese (2001-2008). The specifity of this biography is that it is about a person who is not know to the wider public in Croatia but due to his membership in “Tkalčić” he is now being introduced to the wider public. A supplement to the biography presents two speeches given at his funeral and a list of all the members of the Novosel family from Desinec from the end of the 19^th century to the early 21^th century as a guide to forming the genealogy of the Novosel family from Desinec.
