If you are trying to find a person you could look for them through the DMV. You contact them and they looks through their records to see if the person you are looking for has a drivers license and then they contact the person and if the person wants to contact the person that is looking for them, they can do so. I'm sure you have checked the SSDI. I did and saw no Dale Francis Yoakem on the list, unless it is wrong I would assume your father is still living. I just thought I'd tell you about the DMV program here in CA. I wish you the best of luck in finding your father. Judy/Fresno
