What is the best way to find information on someone still living, especially when you have little information? I am looking for someone names Thomas Michael Scheffel (or Sheffel or Sheffell or Shaffel, etc.), who was allegedly born in April of 1944 and was living in New York state, at least in 1967 and/or 1968. That's pretty much all I have to work with. The Public Records Index databases have shown me 4 results of a Thomas M Scheffel born April 30, 1944. They may all be the same person or they may be different people for all I know. But these records don't even show what time frame they refer to. Where do I go from here? I really need a Looking Up People For Dummies class or something.
