Before Bitcoin Gold Fork i had some 0.01 BTC in my Electrum wallet. I moved away that fund only couple of two weeks ago.
I tried everything i can to claim my BTG:
Most notably using Coinomi wallet, and using their instructions https://coinomi.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/29000016909-i-didn-t-have-btc-in-coinomi-at-the-time-of-the-snapshot-how-do-i-claim-btg-. I imported the seed of my Electrum wallet restoring it in Coinomi,after i had made it empty for obvious security reasons.
This would not have worked correctly... Electrum seeds ARE NOT BIP39 compatible, with generally means that Electrum seeds ARE NOT COMPATIBLE with any other known wallet... I tried everything i can to claim my BTG:

Is there any way that i can claim this BTG? 
Yes, but it will need to be done manually... In your Electrum wallet, you need to go to your "Addresses" tab and look at ALL the addresses... receive and change... "used" and unused.
Export the private key for EVERY address that has a non-zero TX value. Some of them may not have any BTG (as they might have been empty at the time of the fork), but if you export all of them, you're won't miss any coins
Don't forget to look through all your "change" as well as "receive" addresses... including both "used" and "unused".Then you simply import all the private keys into the BTG wallet of your choice... and your BTG should show up
What you want to look for is all the addresses that you can find that has a non-zero "Tx" value... A non-zero "Tx" value means that the address MUST have received coins at some point:
This made the trick: Thanks a lot!
I did not notice there was two tabs from within the page, one for BTC and the other for BCC]
