Hey Britt,

You should get your fathers/mothers birth certificate, it will list where your grandfather was born, and when. Then write or email to get his birth certificate. You should be able to get it. Use the Vital records site to get your Father/Mothers, then afte it comes, you have the information to get your GrandFathers.

If you know when any of them died, or where they are burried, you can get the dates. Then look for the OBITs in the public library near the cemetary. All this sounds morbid, but this is out of respect for them. Learn a lot, they are your family, get some good stories about them along the way. Ask again if you don't find anything. Keep giving information if you have it.

Oh, do ask the living relatives for information, you may be surprised what they know.
