Thanks for the follow-up. I'm now helping someone that says his grandfather had a claim for the Garrett Snuff fortune. Tried to talk him out of persuing it.
I have some research on it. My family too tried to make a claim. Of course; the lawyers did some "creative" genealogical work.
Thre were only 4 legitimate claims out of 27,000. Only 3 got any money. The 4th was in Germany during WWII, so his money went to the US government.
Thanks for the info,
