    Ok we are in charge of liquidation of an estate. We just got into a safe that was on premises without a key. According to the records we found in the house someone was a relative of the Van Voorhis family. There were many officers from before WWII through WWII and after WWII with that last name. In a wallet belonging to one of the relatives there was even a hand drawn seating chart showing a Lt. Van Voorhis sitting at a front table with two tables full of Japanese named people. I don’t know where to begin because these could be of some significance

    Hi, Have you got anywhere with your samurai? I think I have one similar. It is broken and I will have to amend it but I would be interested to know if you had found anything out about it?
