Hi, I am interested in finding info the Ormsby clan, especially on my Great Granddad George Edward Ormsby who was born in Lafayette IN USA about 1851 & who married Bridget (Smith)Ormsby. George E. Ormsby's parents were Thomas & Winifred (Winney Hughes) Ormsby, who were possibly from Co. Mayo, West Meath or West Mead/Maid Ireland. I am in the process of researching this data now & would be interested in hearing from other Ormsby's, distant relatives, friends or anyone else who may have information to contribute &/or share on the Ormsby family history. I live & work in Cocoa FL & I also maintain a web page & guest book at: I have also attempted to transcribe the scanned Copy of my Great Aunt Loretta K. Ormsby's family history letter given to Cousin Bill (Norman W.) Ormsby. I tried to make the transcription as exact as I possible could form the copy of the hand written letter I had that was a little better than the scanned images. See the following link for image & my best transcription of her letter: I am currently researching the Ormsby, Hale, Hughes, & Smith surmanes. Charlene M. Ormsby Cocoa FL USA, March 14. 2004
