Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It may take you a great deal of time and research to find out your answer. I have been working on my family genealogy for years, slow painful process.

There is actually a great web site for the Lewis and Clark expedition, including tracing ancestors of people on the expedition. Check out the link http://www.lewisandclark.org/?p=com_gene...

There is a book you can probably check out from your local library:

There is also a Lewis and Clark Genealogy blog http://genealogyblog.com/categories/lewi...

You can also use sites like genealogy.com and ancestry.com to trace back your grandfather's lineage. There are census records dating back to the time following Lewis and Clark so you should be able to find your family in those records. You can also look online for historical records for the county your grandfather's family lived...
