Sir

I have purchased shares of some listed cos. some 15 to 20 years back. I am holding them in my demat account since then. Now I am not getting any record of purchase that is date and rate of purchase. Stock broker from whom I done the transaction is no more. All are listed cos. I have holding statement from begining. Now if I sell them how will I calculate long term capital gain. Some of the shares are transfered from my father to me. All are in demat account. Can I gift all shares to my children if I am not able to sell?

I have asked this in stocks and shares catagory but it is not reflected there.

Please advise.

Thank you
