Telling us which country he lived in would be a help.

i think ikf you go to a history place and if he was in the army or any thing it may be a lot easier that way. if what i said does not work sorry. i really hope you find him

There is more than one in ancestry.com. You will have to be more specific.

Yes, please give us more details. When and where did he live?

go to ancestry.com!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Consider this:

IF (big IF) you are now 16 and the result of a long line of teen-aged lovers:
You were born 16 years ago, in 1992;
Your father was born 16 years before that, in 1976;
Your grandfather was born 16 years before that, in 1960;
Your great grandfather was born 16 years before that, in 1944.

IF (Another big IF) you are now 80 and the result of a long line of men who had a child by their second wives when they were 60:
You were born 80 years ago, in 1928;
Your father was born 60 years before that, in 1868;
Your grandfather was born 60 years before that, in 1808;
Your great grandfather was born 60 years before that, in 1748.

The Great-Grandfather born in 1944 could have been a 26-year old soldier in Viet Nam in 1970. When he got home he might have gone to a disco in a powder-blue double-knit polyester leisure suit.

The Great-Grandfather born in 1748 could have been a 28-year old soldier serving under George Washington in the American Revolution in 1776. When he got home, he might have danced a reel at a barn dance, in a pair of silk knee breeches and shoes with silver buckles.

Both examples are extreme, both are physically possible, both show why a birth year or even a birth decade help more than the phrase "my (great) grandfather".
