Final update on this issue.

It seems everything has gone well on this issue.

I was able to extract the private key for all the relevant accounts in Bitcoin Core, import those privat keys into Electrum, see the actual-real-balance and then send off the bitcoin to the Ledger account.
Great!

Some issues;
It turned out that what I though was different Balances was actually partly the same account counted in several Balances in several different wallet.dat files
So in all it was much less Btc than I hoped, but what was actually there corresponds with what I looked over in my notes from back in 2014 when I saw it last.

How my various wallet.dat files got mixed up I do not know. I feel there is a security issue here somehow. Its up to the technical guys to evaluate that.


The Btc balance I was able to recover in the Bitcoin Core by witdrawing/cancel transactions from 2014 did not actually work. The balance was not affected as those funds were never withdrawn in the first place.

I have not yet done the job of getting the Forkecoins, but I will do that and have gotten good advice on how to.

ALL in all very good, I was able to recover some old stuff. Big thank you to community.
