Hi first off I would ask your mom grandmother or other relatives and try to gather some info.. Once you have some information you can try the Mellissa data or Zaba search site for free it will give you some info i.e known places of residence possible relatives that type of thing.. You can also look up people in the white pages ... I don't know how old you are but I have a membership to Ancestery.com and they have an extensive newspaper archive an obituary might be found there .. you could send for his death certificate if you know his full name and death date it will have a bit of info on that as well... You can also look at RAOGK.com most of the people there offer different types of help and they are volunteers i.e a death transcript that would list a address at the time of death a spouse or other relative but not his children .. You could also get a copy of his birth certificate and it would list his parents names and if he had siblings it would tell you i.e 8 or 2 or whatever.. And lastly if you know his full name I would definatly go to the Latter day saints site there is a massive amount of info on there ... Once you have some info start posting on the Ancestery.com site Genealogy.com site Rootsweb and countless others... If you care to send me some info I would be willing to help you as much as I can... Good luck and never give up

Do you know where they lived? If they have the same last name as your dad they may be in the phone book, or if you have info on their mom(s) look for her. You can search online for phone numbers/addresses. If you know where/when he died he may have had an obituary in the local paper with kids names.

You could also try Intelius or some other site. Try searching Intelius for his name and state he lived in, especially the one where he lived with the other kids. If you know kids names or their mothers name search for that too. That may give you a little info for free (it lists kids and spouses and age,etc)and if you pay they will tell you more about him. That site does background checks so you could do one on him and see who his kids are, assuming his name is on their birth certificates, etc. It is hard to do without paying any money though.
*I have never paid for anything on Intelius so you should look for reviews to see if they give good info w/their reports before you pay them anything
Good Luck

You can find the names of your siblings from an obituary.
If you need help locating an obituary please email me
through Yahoo Answers with the details.
