Subject: Ormsby Maori Family New Zealand
Tena koe, greetings,
My name is Owen Ormsby and I am a researcher and historian of the New Zealand Anglo Maori Ormsby family history.
I have just sighted on the web site www.ormsby.net the following writings of my own personal family collections and was alarmed to see the family genealogy there.
From a Maori perspective under the law of tikanga(knowledge & protocol) and whakawhanaungatanga(family values in sharing and comforting) one does not place the names of living people on such telecommunications.
I refer to my writings of the following:
1, The life story of Hoani Ormsby, this is private and personal
information and is of my immediate family and is not for public
perusal on the internet .
2. Pianika & Robert Ormsby, the same as above , this is private
and personal information and to be exchanged at family gatherings
and preserved as a sacred taonga or treasure, again not for public
perusal.
I realise that there may be those of the family Ormsby that
are not aware of the sacred knowledge of Maori genealogy and that
elders(kaumatua)must first give their permission for such to be
used.
Genealogy is a sacred element of the NZ indigenous people and
is to be treated with respect.
I am not too sure to whom I am communicating with here and would like to know how we can work together to maintain a strong European history of the Ormsby Family and acknowledge the Maori New Zealand perpsective to the Ormsby Family.
And that Maori genealogy can be accessed by those of Maori
descent from the Ormsby family but through correspondence rather
than through the net, in other words for those seeking info on
Pianika & Robert Ormsby please contact ........
The life of Hoani Ormsby please contact ........
I would like the Life story of Hoani Ormsby removed, this man was my grandfather and there are children of ths man still living who are upset that their names are there for public scrutiny.
I also wrote Pianika & Robert Ormsby as told to me by many loved ones who are now gone as well as researched records of my own private collection therfore I would like this removed as well.
I am happy to supply family with information but not for it to found this way.
I would welcome correspondence with you as to how we can work together for a common cause.
Yours sincerely
Owen Ormsby

I am wondering if you are aware that the Ormsby whanau has a family homestead in Otorahanga?. I have been there on a number of occasions (when I was much younger), and I do know that the amount of information held there is absolutely wonderful. All our Tupuna are displayed by means of portraits on the wall in a special room, there are many, many ledgers dated way back to the early 1900, maybe even the late 1800. It really is a place (if you haven't already) to visit. I am sorry that I do not have the address or phone number, but the homestead has been made an historical place or museum which is open to the public.

Owen Ormsby married Anne Phibbs
Reading this forum has sparked my interest in completing an update of a 1886 document called Pedigree of the Family of Ormsby that has been in my possession for several years. I have recorded the only offspring of Gilbert Ormsby and Mary Lloyd as one Owen who was married to Anne Phibbs. I couldnt find a reference to Benjamin and would be pleased if you could send me more information on him so I can keep these records up to date.

Hi there.
Yes there are many many decendants of Gilbert Ormsby in NZ. In
fact a family tree is under construction right now. If you write
to this lady she will give you more details: Ellen Pearce, 164
Koromatua road, R D 10, Hamilton New Zealand. She is not on email
that I know of. I am a decendant of Gilberts daughter Huti. She
is my Great grandmother and Her husband is credited with discovering
the world famous Waitomo glow worm caves. Family history has it
that she did actually.
