Answer
Robert, I don't have any information on the shares from the 1930's, as those predate most of the information I have available. For those, I suggest you either contact Ontario as the Province of Incorporation and see what information they have available, or contact a broker and ask them to perform a detailed search for you.

for Berkeley Mines, the Company was dissolved in the 1990's. No current value.

Kirkland Minerals did a 1 for 10 reverse split and became Groundstar Resources. Groundstar is still around. It currently trades for about 6 cents per share on the TSX Venture Exchange. You will need to contact the current transfer agent, Computershare (www.computershare.com) about the old certificates.
