Hi Lynn T:

Did you ever track down your William Ormsby from Westmeath? Westmeath is also a possible local for my GGG grandparent’s origin, See:

nee: Winnie Hughes Ref: http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Search/frameset_search.asp *** ref: ****http://www2.tribalpages.com/tribe/browse?userid=maggiekoons *** The Woods Family *** Thomas ORMSBY Born: 1803 Ireland Died: Spouse: Winifred `Winnie` HUGHES Married: 1842 Child: Mary Ellen (Hughes) ORMSBY born: 1850 Ireland died: 1879 Oxford, Benton Co., Indiana

Please note in the second link listed I also have two William Ormsbys:

Ormsby, William (Willie) J
b. Aug 1861, Indiana
m. Carroll, Margaret
Feb 1872

&

Ormsby, William Edward
b. Apr 18 1882, Barrydale, IN USA
d. May 14 1943
Elwood, IN USA
m. Schmitt, Carolyn/Carrie Ann
Jan 07 1909, Tipton, IN, US
d. Jul 22 1952

Since the Irish traition was to recycle family forenames generation after generation, & since my Ormsbys’ may have also came from Co. Westmeath, Cork or Mayo. I was wondering if our Ormsby lines might possibly be related?

Please note that my Ormsby line settled around Elwood IN in mid 1860s.

Looking forward to your reply post.
