Sorry if its been covered, but how come in a case (Roy REED ?) his sister got sfa because she had been adopted out ? Sorry its so old, we just the first series three weeks ago down here (NZ) 
Because she has been adopted out. She now becomes an heir to the parents that adopted her ( I think)

Under British Law, when a child is legally adopted, he/she loses inheritance rights from biological parents, but gains them from the adoptees.

What a pity the full list is not available. I'm sure a lot of the small inheritances that HHs are not interested in could be quickly solved by amateur geneologists like us who have interests in particular surnames. It would certainly fun to try.

start with any that are on this series of HH they are mainly all small untouched cases I think but it is best to check first by searching for a probate.

Hiya guys, I'm new to this site and found it searching about the Heir Hunter programme. I'm not sure how much I am allowed to convey to you due to copyright laws, but on Monday 13th, I am in the programme regarding my Uncle Cullum. I am filmed in my lounge, then in my kitchen ( chopping carrots and nearly fingers ) I was wearing a Blue striped shirt and jeans. The whole experience was great and now I want to try and delve further into my ancestors past - so what better site to start? I haven't managed to read all of this thread, but it appears very informative, as does the complete forum. Given time, I shall research further and, if you guys are willing, ask questions.
Thanks for reading.
Steve
