So far the break doesn't seem to be at the breaker box. Its not in the breaker itself. I will have to get into the attic to find it.
Is the GFCI tripped

I don't have CFGI.

I plan to put new plugs in when checking wiring, maybe I should put in a couple of CFGI plugs?

Do you have aluminum wire? If so you may be in over your head.
If it is copper ...
These kind of failures are usually right at the devices. First look to
be sure they conductors are attached to the side screws and not
stabbed in the back. You can usually see that with a flashlight
without taking anything apart. You might start by plugging in a low
current appliance like a radio (that you know is on and tuned to a
station tried somewhere else) to a bad receptacle. Then slightly
loosen the device of each receptacle mounting screws slightly, stick
in a big molded plug and wiggle them one at a time and see if you get
noise out of the radio. If it is a bad connection that is failing,
that may smoke it out.
Personally if you have back stabs I would just rewire them all tho.
They are not listed for 12 ga wire. When you find the bad connection,
I would expect to see it discolored.
