If this seems to be your family line below, you might try the free search tool at: https://familysearch.org/search to see if you can find more records. If you know the names of any of your grandfathers siblings, you might find him in the 1930 census, with siblings and parents listed. Then you can plug in the names/dates/locations to find additional information. The public census data only goes to 1940 – so you wouldn’t find your dad and forward on census data. Same for Carrie Holt (Dillon).
