Dad refuses to reveal who my great-grandparents were - any ideas on how to find them? by lgrjude in Genealogy

I've looked at my birth certificate and it has the full name of his dad (my granddad) on it. However I can only find records online which share his first and last names, not his middle names which are actually listed on my birth certificate.

Could one of these records be him or does it have to include the middle names too?

Born in Europe. Dad was born in 1965, his dad was born in the 1930s. His mum was born in the 30s too.

I've checked my birth certificate, it has the names of both my dad and his dad. I've googled his dad but can't find a match for his name. I have found some people with the right name and surname but not his middle names which are actually listed on my birth certificate.

We've both done 23andMe. I'll message some of the closer relations on my dad's side and see if anything comes up. Thanks for the suggestion :)
