I would start with his child that is your grandparent. Get their birth certificate. That may list his Full name and birth location and date (as Father of the child).

Try Family Search. (put in the surname for exact match)
Try GENFORUM (put in the surname, talk to people)
Try some of the other sites below.

If I had his last name I could point you to some records, but you can do that yourself.
