If anyone can help me with this, that would be very cool. I have about 7 prime lenes I used to use with my OM4Ti. I would love to beable to use these with my soon to come (I hope) GH1. I know there are adaptors out there but I am having trouble finding a brand name and model number. Mostly I read about the Olympus 4/3 lens to micro lenes. I want to be able to use my old OM Manual lens. Thanks so much for your help

There's probably a company out there that does a straigth OM to micro 4/3 adapter, but I haven't checked. If you can't find one, then there is always the possibility of using the OM to 4/3 adapter MF-1 by Olympus and combine it with the panasonic DMW-MA1 4/3 to micro 4/3 adapter.

These two:

For OM to 4/3 I have used a cheap 3rd party adapter, works just fine. It's a simple little device and even this cheap one that I use is pretty robust, doesn't mind being swapped out a lot. Came from this seller in the UK:

I have seen a seller in Italy, doing a mechanical 4/3 to micro 4/3 adapter ( no lens communication for 4/3 lenses ), so that you can use all these 3d party adapters on the G1. Sorry I don't have the link, but do an ebay search should bring it up.
