There is not a David nor a Thomas in the telephone book. I did find a marriage record for a David Gene Coffman 17 Nov 1973 which would not fit with the birth date of 1962. Do you have any other "family" names or ideas of other counties in which they may reside? Where did you find the birthdate? I will check the City Directory for that period of time to see if any Coffman's were in the area. There is a Gene Coffman in the Escalon area (San Joaquin County) but don't know if it is the right one. Let me know any other information you could provide. Judy Ewbank
