Did you start with yourself then work backwards. Are your parents still living? If so ask them and any other relative lots and lots of questions about background, birth places, marriage places, etc. I think there were some Coffmans in the Germanna group, but I'm not sure. I KNOW there are Coffmans in the Culpeper area.
