Skifte halde i Canada med ervingar i Noreg - Utanrikesdepartementet sine arkiv?

[Lars E. Øyane]

Ole Andersson Leirmo, fødd i Luster 11.10.1852, utvandra til Amerika i 1881 og døydde barnlaus i eller nær Trout Lake, BC kring 1932.  Det skal ha kome arv til Noreg etter Ole, men Utanriksdepartementet greidde ikkje å finna spor etter noko slikt då eg forspurte der om dette for meir enn 30 år sidan!

 

Han ligg gravlagd i Trout Lake, BC, men støtta syner berre namnet hans som Olie Larmo: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/170997031

 

Kan henda er arkivet til Utanrikesdepartementet litt betre «sortert» sidan den gongen?

 

Eg er interessert vi å sjå kva som står om dødsfallet hans, og kven ervingane hans var?

 

Eg takkar so mykje på førehand for hjelpi!

Eg vil anta at ei mogleg forklaring kan vere at pengane er blitt sende privat frå oppnemnd eksekutor i buet.

Når det gjeld oppslag i arkivet etter UD, må forespørselen gå via skjema i lenka under:

From the cemetery you linked previously, this plaque has it listed that the "Olie" died 1909, born in 1872, not 1852. Middle column, top row.

 

1909 BC Death Registrations: The province of British Columbia has a searchable index for all of their death registrations prior to 1996 online. These are all of the registrations made in the province in the year 1909. 

 

Andrew Larmo Death: There's only a single person in the database with the surname Larmo, and his name is Andrew Larmo. Passed away in 1909 at the age of 35 (born abt. 1874). Likely the person in the FindaGrave memorial you linked. He died in Arrowhead, British Columbia. Arrowhead is about a 20 kilometers from Trout Lake.

"Ole Larmo" does appear in the 1921 census of Canada living in Trout Lake, BC. He's said to been 66 (born about 1854), and immigrated to Canada in 1896. Single, never married. 

I sent an email to the community centre in Trout Lake, requesting for any information they might have on Ole, and if there's any other burials listed under the Larmo/Lermo surname. 

[Lars E. Øyane]

Thank you very much, Morgan, for responding to my inquiry.

 

In the meantime I have come across a note (source unknown) stating that Ole A. Larmo died at Trout Lake, BC on Nov. 29, 1933.  Can this information possible help to fond a probate record for him?  I have no logical explanation why the death year 1909 has been written on the Trout Lake head stone...!?

 

The Andrew Larmo referred to over, who died at Arrowhead, BC Mar. 21, 1909 at the age of 35, is most likely Ole Larmo's nephew, Andrew O. Larmo, born in Luster Co., Norway Nov. 20, 1870, emigrated in 1898.  His destiny in America has so far been completely unknown. 

 

His tombstone is in the Arrowhead cemetery:

 

Andrew Larmo

Birth	1874
Death	21 Mar 1909 (aged 34–35)
Burial	Arrowhead Cemetery Arrowhead, Columbia-Shuswap Regional District, British Columbia, Canada

 

Can any trace be found of Andrew Larmo in local records (1901 or 1906 censuses?)

 

Thanks again for your great assistance in this matter!

 

Very sincerely yours,

These are all the deaths registered in that province for Nov 29 1933. click here - My knowledge is there is very very few unreported deaths that happen in the province of British Columbia, so if he died that day, he should have been in that list.

I couldn't see any name relating to Ole's, but having year of death could help a lot. I still haven't heard back from the community centre in Trout Lake, but I'll let you know as soon as I do.
