Bonds that are lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed can be replaced free of charge as long as we (the Bureau of the Public Debt) can establish that the bonds haven't been cashed. To assure that the bonds can be traced, owners should keep records of bond serial numbers, issue dates, registration, and social security or taxpayer identification numbers in a safe place separate from the bonds. (The Savings Bond Wizard is a great way to do this!)
To get your bond replaced, complete Form PD F 1048. On this form, provide the approximate issue date along with the complete names, addresses, social security number that appeared on the bond, and the bond serial number. If you don't know the serial number or denomination, just write "unknown" in the space provided. If the bond owner is a minor, the form should be signed by both parents and the minor's age and social security number should be included. Mail the completed form to: Bureau of the Public Debt, P.O. Box 7012, Parkersburg, WV 26106-7012. Replacement bonds will still show the original issue date

Check the financial institution where you got the bonds or the method you got them. I had some money taken out back in the 80's when I was in the Navy for bonds, forgot about where they were, and the Treasury Dept. had them on record waiting for me and sent them to me...
Or go to this web site for help...

Do you remember where you took the bonds? Like at a bank? If you remember where you got them, you can go there, or contact them and I guess they can find the numbers and other information for you.

There has to be a record of them somewhere - like how were they purchased? From payroll deduction? From a bank? Try those sources first - without knowing how old the bonds might be, that's all I can tell you.

One this is DO NOT pay someone to find them for you. There are plenty of free pieces of information to help you find them.
A couple of good articles I've found:
