I had the same problem when I first started work on my family line. I knew who my ggrandfather was but no idea where he came from or any of his siblings.
I began to investigate possible cousins and other relatives when a distant cousin answered my query. It turned out that he was one of 13 children and had migrated alone (possibly) from eastern SC to south central Al.
Keep searching and good hunting.
