The difficulty you are experiencing is that you do not have an EXACT place of birth. This is a difficult enough area to research with exact information in hand.
You will have to ascertain the name of the small town/village in the Bielsk District in the Grodno Guberniya, where Great Grandfather lived.
These Eastern European Archives are not as sophisticated as you might think.Belarus is just talking about possibly getting a computer. And this is not a priority for this govt. You have to do as much work as you can, because they have no way of doing it for you WITHOUT THE NAME OF THE TOWN/VILLAGE OF BIRTH, with the district and region as it is today.
Who in the immediate family immigrated?Was it Grandfather?Then it will be Grandfather's records that will lead you back to Great Grandfather.
When did this person immigrate? What country?
You need to VERY THOROUGHLY SEARCH thru the immigrant's records.
If you provide me with what you actually know ... like where the immigrant immigrated, I might be able to send you some links that might help in this process.
PS> If Great Grandfather was Jewish, Czarist law at the time dictated that the family name could only be registered once, even if person moved to another place. This is a very difficult search, so you have to do it step by step.
