Overseas shares: Where are they and how do I access them?

[tabnloz]

Hi,

I have some shares in a US based company, however I don't know where these shares "are".

I know how many I have but they are not in my share trading account here in Australia.

How do I find out where they are and how to access them?

I was one of the founding shareholders of the company and I recall having a stock certificate but don't know how to trade them if I want to.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

cheers
