Re: Nehemiah Olmsted.  "Genealogy of the Olmsted Family in Amedrica" by Henry
King Olmsted, published in 1912 shows your Nehemiah on p.15.  He was 
baptised at Fairsted, Essex, England on 10 Nov 1618 and came to America 
with his father, James, arriving on 16 Sept 1632 in the ship "Lyon" from 
Braintree, Eng.  He settled in Fairfield, CT in 1649.  He was a sergeant in 
1657, and died before 2 Oct 1657.  He and his wife, Elizabeth BURR, 
daughter of Jehu BURR, Sr. had one daughter, Sarah, who married Robert 
Ed Foster, Olney, MD

I am afraid my information on my OLMSTED line is very limited. 
The only information I have is: My gg-grandmother was Anna Marie
OLMSTED, b Delaware Co., NY, abt 1816, m abt 1835 Samuel BRACE,
lived in PA until abt 1843, then moved to Allegany, NY.  I would
be most interested in any OLMSTED's that may have settled in
Delaware, Co. or any other clues you might provide me.  Thanks
for your interest.      --Belva--

GENEALOGY                      -------------------------------
 
New information has come to light.  In searching for ancestry of Robert R. 
OLMSTEAD b. 1906 NH, in Nashua Protestant Orphanage in Nashua, NH in 1910, 
his son suddenly remembered that his father had had to go back to Court to 
get his name changed from Robert MAYNARD to Robert OLMSTEAD.  His foster 
parents had been Joseph & Celia MAYNARD.  This might have occurred between 
1926 when he was 21 & 1938 when he married
 
This court action might have been a separate action or possibly made a part 
of an earlier action when he was taken from the orphanage between 1910 & 
1920 or later.  He was out of the orphanage by 1920.  This might have 
occurred in Nashua or Manchester, NH.
 
What was the procedure used by orphanages when a child was taken from an 
orphanage and placed with foster parents  Who handled such a proceeding and 
filed the petition - a county welfare office, town, orphanage, foster 
parents, or ?  Which court handled such a case
 
Also, does the State Vital Records have a record of death for
 
   OLMSTEAD, Allen M.  died 1906 - 1920
       "     Sarah, his wife, died 1906 - 1920
       "     Herman L.  died 13, Jan 1906.
 
We certainly appreciate all your help.  Many thanks for the recent BBS and 
letter.  Letter in US Mail for you.
