You need to start with who created it, and where they lived. Chances are they used banks or credit unions local to them or whre they banked. Once you figure that out, begin looking through the search requests with those institutions. You can also contact the FDIC or the NCUA to see if anything can be done to search if the bank or credit union no longer exists. Also try missingmoney.com in your state or where you believe the trust fund was created.
