They are $5 - to be paid in money order only (International money order in US funds). On birth certificates they will have your grandfather's occupation and occassionally the full address of residence, sometimes just the street, sometimes just the town (residence town might differ form the town of birth). Also your grandmother's maiden name (if you don't already have it) will be on there and your grandparents's ages. Do you know when your grandparents came to the US? Your father was born & moved in between US Census recording, so he won't be on a US Census record, but perhaps his parents are if they were in the US in 1890. The only problem is, I myself just posted a query on if there are 1890 Census records available to the public because I don't know that they are out there, though if there is an 1880 Census record and 1900 and beyond, I would think there would be an 1890 record somewhere to be viewed. Good Luck!
