Hello! I saw your query at genforum and am so excited. I have been looking for a des. of this family for a long time. My interest is mainly because of Jemima Olmstead, wife of Emmett. We have been to Fort Ann and Fort Edward several times gathering records, but I have run into a few brick walls in some areas of my research. I do have some VR's, obits and info compiled by Iona Palmer of Glens Falls. I can't wait to hear from you!

Thank you so much for answering. I looked at both websites and read the info on Emmett Ormsby and family. I have a few other details for you. Jemima was the daughter of Jeremiah Olmstead and Sarah (Sally) Ferguson. I have 2 additional children of Emmett and Jemima that are not on your list: Frederick born 1859 and Ella born 1863. The Fort Ann town clerk has place of burial for both Jemima and Iola as W. Fort Ann cemetery, but cannot find either in the cemetery records. I noticed that your info says they were buried in Glens Falls. Do you know if there is a tombstone for Jemima? I am eager to find a des. of Emmett and Jemima. You mentioned that you have contact with several on my line. I would be so grateful for that info. There are still a few Ormsby's living in Fort Edward today and I plan on writing to them in hopes that they are des. of Emmett. I have Emmett and Jemima's obits and death records for Jemima and Iola. Thank you for offering to share your Emmett info with me - I am interested and will share what I have also. Who was the Iona Palmer who compiled the Ormsby info? Is she still alive?
