How to track down savings bonds if the bonds are missing and the bank is gone?

Question

Years ago when I was a little kid I delievered newspapers 6 days a week, then I went to school afterwards. I made quite a bit of money doing this, and every Saturday after counting out the money I made my mother would take me down to the bank and put some of the money in a savings account (which was closed when we moved out of state) and we also bought savings bonds. Different increments, but mainly $100 ones. This was all in Massachusetts. I now live in Pennsylvania, the bank was a small local branch, which had traded hands so many time since moving, and isn't even there anymore. The bonds are missing, between moving so much they were misplaced somewhere years ago, and they have never surfaced. My question is, is there any way for me to track these bonds down, so that I may get my money from them? thank you
