| A long lost family for me: Ole Larsen Pladsen, b.19. Aug. 1852 in Kjaekan, Kvaenangen in Troms. His vife, Brita Lisa Johannesdatter Lehtigangas, b.6. Apr.1854 in Alta, Finnmark and their son, Ole Johan, b. 9. Oct. 1880 Nikkelvaerket, Berg / Torsken, Troms. Nikkelvaerket, Berg/Torsken, Troms was the last known place hvere these family lived until the mine was closed in 1886. Where did they go????? |

Yes, it is correct. To me it seems that the family "disappeared" from Norway some times between 1886 and 1900. They were not found in the emigrantprotocols from Trondheim and Bergen in these years and either in the 1900 census in Norway.
So, again where did they go? |

I located this record when I was looking for Johannesen people & remembered the last name in your posting.
I thought that perhaps the census record, would give you a starting point to work forward from in researching Parish records, if you had not already done that.
Did you try to trace his wife, Brita Lisa Johannesdatter Lehtigangas, thru parish records? |

After she married Ole Larsen, 15. June 1874, she sometimes used the name Brite Elise Larsen when she appeared in the churchbooks for Nikkelvaerked, Berg, Torsken. About the 1900 census, I made a full search all over the entire country, all fylker and their kommuner and the parishes with no matches at all. I also tried with different namecombinations.
It seems that I have ended up at the great brickwall. |

There is another ongoing thread, related to: Search for John M. Johansen on this site. Author is Mardy/Marty, I believe.
If perchance the family you seek, has disappeared as you say by 1900; then might they be among those who went to Alaska as reindeer herders?
If this is a possibility, then there is a contact person with e-mail address - in that thread. He might be able to assist you in determining, if your, 'Ole Larsen Pladsen', was among them. Many who left were miners and went on later to mining in Alaska. It is just a possibility? |

| I have a book where the S/S "Manitoban" and its expidition is described with names of the paticipating members of the herders and even a pictures. The family I am searching for was not participating on that expidition either. |

| There were two waves of people that moved with the reindeer: the Manitoban-expedition and the Kjellmann Expedition, 1894 and 1898. The author of one of the books about these migrations lists his email address and is offering to assist with research, in the thread I suggested you look at. You should contact him for assistance. He states he has documents as well, from the reindeer stations. |

| I was not clear of there was another expidition in 1894, called the Kjellmann expidition. I only knew about the Manitoban expidition started back on 04. Feb. 1898. It could be well worth to give a try on that Kjellman expidition from 1894. Do have any possibility to make me in contact with this contactperson? |

In the other posting I suggested you read/this email address is given dagoj@online.no. He is offering to have people contact him concerning the Manitoban-expedition or the Kjellmann Expedition.
Read the other posting, titled: Search for John M. Johansen relatives and family
It is in this same forum. |
