I still have to determine which George Olmstead it was who married Sarah Haviland.

The grave photo of the couple's monument in Greenwood Cemetery ,Norwich County,Ontario does not list middle names or initials for either parent,though gives initial only for their son. However the vital dates are incompatible with George Hemminover. On the other hand all the group sheets that Aunt Eleanor sent me in the past and which probably are

the source of the non member information views on Ancestry.com

list George Hemminover as the partner of Sarah whose birth date differs by 2 years but whose death date is over 15years later than the tombstone photo George.
