Dear Listers!
This Leirmo family from Luster Co., Norway is another very challenging one, which I would like to share with you tonite:
Anders Henrikson Leirmo (1803-1896) lived at Leirmo in Luster County. He was married twice, first to Gjertrud Johannesdotter Prestegard (1801-1835) and then to Ingeborg Christensdotter Marifjaeren (1814-1897).
Children included:
* Henrik A. Leirmo, born Apr. 20, 1830, moved 1852 to Northern Norway and was never heard from again...
* Andrew A. Larmo (1841-1914) emigrated 1871 to Vernon Co., WI and raised a large family, including a son Trond «Thomas» Larmo (1874-1929) who moved to the Philippines, married a Philippino girl and had ten children.
* Ingebrigt A. Larmo, born Nov. 16, 1849, emigrated in 1868 and is very likely identical to a (gold?) miner Lermo who in 1875 lived in Storey Co., NV. According to his Norwegian siblings he was inb 1897 either living in South America or in Australia!! Destiny unknown.
* Ole A. Larmo, born Oct. 11, 1852, emigrated in 1881 and was a miner in BC, where he died single at Trout Lake, BC Nov. 29, 1933. His estate was probated, and some of it ended up with relatives in Norway, but no record of this has been found so far!
I don't expect Henrik can be found, but any details regarding Ingebrigt and also Ole would be highly appreciated!
Any suggestions how to get hold of Ole Larmo's estate papers?
Thanks a million in advance for your great assistance in this matter!
Very sincerely yours, |
Lars E. Oyane |

Dear Jackie and other Listers!
Thank you very much for great messages!
I have sent an inquiry to Salt Lake to have my friend there checking the probate records for the West Kootenay District, where Trout Lake is located, but the file in question seems to stop in 1926...?
HOWEVER, although the Lermo in Storey Co., NV in 1875 may not be Ingebrigt, he also came from Luster Co., Norway:
Erik Olson, born (illegitmate) Sep. 1, 1842, emigrated in 1857 with an uncle and an aunt to Dane Co., WI! The mother later married and emigrated to Faribault Co., MN, and her grandchildren once told me they THOUGHT uncle Erik had been a gold miner near Sacramento, CA and that he died prior to 1890, but noone knew which name he went by! His mother was from Sandvik, while the father was from Alsmo. Leirmo is located in between, but maybe he was raised at the Leirmo farm...!?
That obituary from San Francisco, CA was a WONDERFUL piece of information!
BUT, the destiny of Ingebrigt A. Larmo still remains a big mystery! Ingebrigt often bacame Albert in the US!
Thanks again for great assistance in this matter!
Very sincerey yours, |

I'm not all that familiar with Canadian geography but the FAG for Ole says that Trout Lake is in Columbia-Shuswap region.....

If there was a distribution of wealth to Norwegians, the consulate is likely involved, are there any consulate records available in Norway? |
