Robert,
With so little to go on your options are diminished somewhat. You could start my doing an online search (not all are available online though) of all the county courthouses in the NW third of ND. Maybe via your own state or federal tax records. Royalties would have been taxable income in the years received.

ya cool thanks this what i am looking for ideas
glad I could help...good luck
Yea, you should have received 1099s on that income every year sometime in the first three months of the year. That will tell you the operator, who you can contact and go from there.
Further, if you were receiving any income, then check your bank records for any checks you received going back as far as the bank has records.
Further, you might check the unclaimed property site in North Dakota. If there is producing royalty, and it is not being paid to you or your brothers, then it may be in unclaimed property. be sure to check for the names of your parents or grandparents in there as well.

so is worthless or my kids might have something in there future
"Worthless" isn't the description I'd use. From an operator's perspective are there more desirable locations out there at current prices? Certainly. Supply and demand do indeed apply.

Definitely not worthless. These mineral rights have a market value and can be bought and sold. Or, as you said, your children could reap the benefit in the future.
still think there might be a leaser as i remember diamond was the first leaser and we went with another company and t was expiring this year unless i got it backwards where do i go to get this info and some kind of ownership paperwork
