You did not state if your grandfather was alive or any information such as age that may help HOWEVER there is a great website that can help IF he is alive. It is ussearch.com or hyperlink: http://www.ussearch.com/wlcs/index.jsp If in the event your grandfather is deceased, please post all known information about him. Date and place of birth if known or approximate age. Also, spouse and or children information. The dates and ages do help! What was his last known residency in CA? Mind you, if he is alive I would start with USSEARCH. It is a great stepping stone. :-) Best of luck in your search. Kindest regards, Tamara Sanford
