Beginning in the early 70's with my Aunt Maggie and her daughter in law Ariel Smith to my mother  and now me, we've researched the Ormandy family name.  Special thanks must be given to these two  women as they did the main bulk of the research pre internet. I picked up the genealogy torch  about the same time the internet became available to the average person. This was in the late  90's. Since then, I've met long lost cousins and learned quite a bit about this Ormandy family.   They have a story to tell, not one of fame and fortune but one of merely existing, trying to carve  out a life better than they had as children. They were not afraid to travel, first from England to  the United States and then across American frontier and finally establishing themselves mainly in  Oregon.
