Welcome to Rootschat  :)

The answer to your question depends on when and where your grandfather was born and died-

1864-1958 in Republic of Ireland or 1864-1921 in Northern Ireland?

1864-1881? extracted births here-

Before 1864 (the start of registration for births and deaths) you'll need to start searching for church records so you'll need his religion and a location. Many Irish catholic Parish records online free-

If you can tell us his name and whatever details you know so far we can try to help.

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
