It looks like your Dad's father and mother were married. This, and the fact that you know the father's name, should be a great starting point when you go to government records. I researched and wrote an article discussing this with links to the websites

There are also ways to trace your family history besides going to the government websites.

Another way to find missing relatives, to see if they have any information about your Dad's childhood, is to use Facebook. Here are the steps for using this social networking sight to help find relatives.
