Orme Genealogy
Most Ormes are the descendants of settlers from Norway, Sweden and Denmark who crossed the North Sea to the British Isles long ago. From the British Isles, the name has spread to many other countries throughout the world where the Orme family continues to flourish.
The original information about the Orme name was collected by Stephen Orme in the United Kingdom. It is with his kind permission, that I am displaying the information on this site.
I hope to continually add more information for visitors who are interested in the history of the Orme name. And, feel free to sign the Orme Guestbook and introduce yourself.
