Mona,
The names that you list could be a part of the Coffel family I am researching. Could you give me some birth dates on your father and grandfather to see if I can match them. Also birthplaces would help.

Hi I don't know my grandfathers birthday or where he was born but my father was born in Missouri and raised in Arkansas. His bithday is on April 23 1924. I keep in contact with one of his brothers, David Coffel. He lives in Missouri. Apparently there is a Coffel book available for 25.00. If you are interested, I will try to find out where you can get one. I'd like one myself. Are you related? Regards Mona

Where in Mo. is your family from? I am from Missouri and I have family who were born around the same time as your father who may know something.

Hi Mona. We were visting family in St.Louis Mo this past Christmas and seen a copy of the Coffel book. It is filled with a lot of information. I am thinking about 400 pages or so. Anyway my family tree started with Coffel. I also have Johnson or Johnston not sure which and Loftin/Lofton all from the Arkansas and Missouri area. There is still alot of Coffel's in the Missouri area and they have a Coffel/Lofton reunion every year near Cardwell Missouri. If you know where we can get a copy of the book please let us know. Thank you Jeff

Sure Jeff email me at so I can give you the info. Mona

Hi Mona, It's your Sis again. Your Grandmother's name is Florence Olivia Ford Coffel. Dad's other brother is Owen. I believe Owen and Ira have passed away. I'll double check the book and let you know. Please write back as soon as you get this. Love, Lorna
