Hi Benjamin,

I’m glad to hear you’re searching for your grandfather. I would start with the records for Alabama.If you edit the search for the specific state it will omit the others.

Keep in mind though that official birth certificates - did not exist in the 1800's.

Also dont just focus your search on "birth records" - you may find references to his irth date and place on other record types - even a death certificate as an example.
