I have a few older FD lenses. Is there an adapter I can get to allow it to mount on an OES camera?

General opinon is that if you have an EF in the same range, you should just stick with that. canon did make a adapter for their larger FD superteles that gave it a slight (1.2x or so) magnification factor that was quite high quality, but is rare and goes for a high price.
