Listers, I am trying to help a friend track what happened to Ole Olsen Eines after he returned to North America from Norway in April 1927, arriving in St. John, New Brunswick, Canada.  He was born in 1888 and originally emigrated from Kristiansund on 05.05.1909.  He had been living in the states of Washington and Alaska, and then returned to Norway for a visit.  However, after he returns to North America, we have been unable to find any further traces of him. Perhaps one of the listers with Ancestry subscription that includes the newpapers can do a search.  Or there may be some other sources we haven't thought to tap. We know that he was involved in the illegal alcohol trade in Washington during the Prohibition times, so we suspect it is possible that he may have just "disappeared" at some point.  But I would like to see if there are any additional hints to what may have happened to him after April 1927. Tusen takk! Greg Holter

Hi Greg, I don't know if this was "the thing to do" in such a situation but I have heard of one who operated out of the east coast. He changed his name and disappeared. He had hijacked a load and his family adjusted to the thought that they caught up with him and did him in. About 50 years later he showed up.!!
