    3. Dear Listers! I have for years been trying to figure out what happened to this Norwegian gold miner: Ole Anderson Leirmo aka Ole Larmo aka Ole Larmo born in Luster Co., Norway Oct. 11, 1852 emigrated in 1881 and is known to have immigrated to Canada in 1896 He shows up in a mining directory from BC from 1902 as a resident of Rossland, BC The 1911 Canada census shows him residing at Trout Lake, West Kootenay District, BC The 1921 Canada census shows him at the same location. There is an entry at Find-a-grave, but with no date and no marker: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/170997031 According to relatives in Norway he died about 1932, and he left an estate that was distributed to his heirs, but no papers have been kept, and contact with the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs handling estates from the US and Canada to Norway has been to no avail! Is it possible to figure out WHEN and WHERE Olie Larmo actually died? One of Ole’s brothers also has a rather «challenging» destiny: Ingebrigt (Albert?) Anderson Leirmo, born in Luster Co., Norway Nov. 16, 1849, emigrated in 1868, and when his mother died in Norway in 1897, the children who were still in Norway informed the probate court that Ingebrigt had last been heard from in South America or in Australia!! Any chance he can be located anywhere?? Thanks a million in advance for your great assistance in these matters! Very sincerely yours, Lars E. Oyane
