Looking for Grandfather
Looking to exchange dna results to confirm ancestry
My brick wall is my grandfather . I know who he is but nothing of his family. And when I try to trace his tree i find people with a different name. If I can find a dna match for my grandfather on maternal side, that would help.

It is a lot to share. Where do I start, I just can't put it all in this comment !

Lets start with your Grandfather: When and Where was he born? Who did he marry? I am assuming that your grandparents have passed.

Thought I would share—I have had the same issue for 20 years!! I spent some time this week at the research library in SLC——- DIscovered by GGGF was illegitimate and was adopted by his mother's first husband……….. That is why I was hitting a brick wall——- This was in Germany!——- I was also told that you had to ask permission to get married and many couples would just live together and start a family because it took so long to get approval for marriage…….. So just passing along don't be surprised if he was adopted at some point as I was!!

So is this your maternal grandparent? Are there siblings? What did you mean when you wrote " when I try to trace his tree i find people with a different name" - trace where, do you have y-dna results? Have relatives tested dna and where? These would help a bit to consider what would help you.
