Many years ago my mother had her sister hold money for me because of problems on my dad's side of the family. I recently approached my aunt about this money and she said that she didn't know anything about it.

In the event an account was set up for you with a bank, there's a possibility the funds were surrendered to your state treasurer under abandoned property laws.
