If you know your grandfather's name, his approx date of birth and where he was born, and that he was in WWII you have a lot of information to work from.
Narrow down what part of Ohio they lived in, that in itself could find you many answers. A lot of people from the south moved to Ohio for job opportunities. They went to work in the tire companies. It's possible that your Chandlers moved from the south to the north because of that reason, or they may have always been up north.
If you can get his WWII military papers, it could list his parents names, especially if he was single. It will definitely list his date of birth, where born and where he lived at the time.
Who were some of your aunts, uncles? What about your grandfather's sisters and brothers?
If your grand father was born before 1930 he will be listed on the 1930 census and depending upon his birthdate he will be listed on the 1920 census.
Courthouses aren't the only source of records. There are state birth records, death records, military records, church records, Bible records, state censuses, federal census, public records (phone directories) etc.
Unless your family was in the "federal witness program", or hiding out under an assumed name, they can be found.
