My grandfather is buried in the Baligroder Kehillah spot in Queens, NY, as is my grandmother. He died before I was born, and my grandmother died when I was young. My father, who has also passed, was born here but I remember mentioning that his father was in fact born in Baligrod. How do I find documentation or history?

My grandfather's name was Max Scheiner. He was born in Baligrod in 1891. He came to America in 1908, age 17 (Ellis Island Records). Some siblings stayed back, others came with. I don't believe my grandmother was born in Baligrod. Her maiden name was Gottleib.
