Looking for my grandfather (lemmy.nz)

I don't know if it's allowed here, but i matched with some cousins on ancestry. We figured out that their cousin Robert Little must be my grandfather. They say they don't have much contact with Bob and were unable to give me a phone number for him. Google searches for him have come up empty.

This is all the information i have, and im hoping someone can help me.

Robert little lives in Whanganui and has a son named Roderick. Roberts parents were Winifred White and Tom Little.

We're 95 percent sure this man is my grandfather and would like to find him before it's too late. I don't think he knew he had a daughter, (my mother) and i want them to meet.

I just wanted to point out for anyone who comes across this post, never volunteer information about the whereabouts of people to strangers on the Internet. You never know the true reason someone might be trying to track someone down. This is an easy way for stalkers or abusive spouses to locate their prey who have gone into hiding.

There are always official channels (police, investigations, missing persons, etc.) than can be used to find people, and anyone requesting someone's location or contact information should instead be redirected there.
