Default Dead circuits in house

It's likely there are more than just the four outlets on the circuit. If
indeed all the circuits are "live" at the panel, which needs to be tested by
removing the cover, it's likely that there is an open circuit at a still
live outlet preceding the dead ones, on the same circuit. Open and check all
live outlets in the vicinity of the dead ones, looking for loose
connections, especially in back stabbed connections

I have 4 dead circuits in my House all on 1 wall 2 on top floor 2 on
bottom floor

I have rewired and put new outlets and tested continuity on all the 4
outlets. I noticed the line feeding the 4 outlets( the wires going to
the first of the 4 boutlets) is dead. All circuit breakers are on.
My questions is since these wires are in the walls , is there any way
to trace this wire back to the breaker panel and see if its brokenn
somewhere or at least any way to find the path of the wire? Thanks
