strange request! heir and inheritance

[spudsmum]

my brother gave me a cheque in feb 2010 and told me that we had been traced 15 years after my uncle died.......i never saw any paperwork connected so do not who traced us etc......i now do not believe what i was paid was what was owed. i need to know how to trace who the heir hunter would have been......does anyone know how i might do this? i have asked my brother for a family tree through said company who has told me that i am not allowed it so will not tell me anymore..........
so i now want to know more!!!!!!!!

Do you know your uncles full name? If so, you can then find out when he died and apply to the Probate Registry for a copy of his will.

There are only a few heir hunters operating, so I'd try calling them all first......

Is it your brother who refuses to show you the family tree? If you know the name of your uncle you can approach Mormons (Seventh Day Adventists), they have the most comprehensive database of family trees covering everyone in the world (or so I have been told) .
