It’s also possible the shares got escheated to the state the stockholder was living in at some point so that could be another avenue to pursue. But the bad thing about that is the state would’ve then sold the stock so any future appreciation, stock splits, dividends, acquisition pay-outs, spin-offs etc would be lost but would still be entitled to proceeds from sale. Given the time frame that’s probably less likely I’d think but not sure honestly. The way to pursue that is by checking the states unclaimed property site under the name and info of the shareholder. Some sites and services offer to do this for you for 10% cut which is a rippof as it’s easy enough to do on your own
