Article about your grandfather
Welcome, again! As you are his grandson you have, from Wikipedia's point of view, a WP:Conflict of interest, so you should not submit an article directly, but make a draft for review by an uninvolved user. That is a good thing to do anyway, because you are new to this.

Wikipedia has an important policy called Verifiability, summarised as "all material must be attributable to reliable, published sources". That means that your own knowledge, or family traditions or papers, cannot be used as sources. The point of "published" is that readers of the encyclopedia should, in principle, be able to check the source of Wikipedia's statements. Sources need not be on-line, or in English, so, for instance, a reference to a newspaper article would be acceptable if you can give the name of the newspaper and the date of publication and, if possible, a page number. There is advice at WP:Identifying reliable sources.

First, collect your sources. Then, read WP:Your first article. Then, use WP:Articles for creation to guide you through the process of making a draft. The links in the Welcome message above will tell you more about Wikipedia. You may find the WP:Tutorial helpful. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 11:53, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

 * One newspaper reference is much better than nothing, but I do not know whether it will be enough. What you should do next is:
 * Read WP:Your first article
 * Click on WP:Articles for creation and follow the instructions there. That will let you make a draft article, which you can send for review by an experienced user, who will either accept it or give you feedback.
 * Keep it simple, do not try to "sell" the subject by saying how good he was, just describe what he achieved.
 * The WP:Teahouse is a place where you can ask for advice. JohnCD (talk) 21:49, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
