His great grandfather was Adam Werts (spelled with an "e"). Looking for information on my grandfather Wirts's side as records are missing or lost.

Answer 1

You didn't provide any timeframe.  Depending on your age - your grandfather may have been born between 1870-1970!  It also helps if you include names of spouses - such as your grandmother - which helps with b, m, d records.
