Pillsbury mills-shares and benefits


What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Athens-Greece

According to my husband's family records, his grandfather (of greek origin) owned a trading food company in Egypt (1919-1950), representing "Pillsbury Mills" to Egypt at that time. This trading company lent an amount of money to Pillsbury Mills. We would like to investigate if the company received any shares or other benefits from Pillsbury Mills and if this is the case, if we will be able to make a claim.

What city in Egypt was the trading company located in and what was the name of the trading company? Have you checked with the trading company to see where its records are and if they are still in business now or out of business? That would be your first step.

Do you even have documentation of how much money was lent?

I seriously doubt that a 58 year old debt can be collected anywhere in the world.
