If your great grandfather arrived in the United Statesfrom Ireland, and did so before the 1950s, you may be able to find him in the indexes of passenger lists. These will tell you what ship he was on and when it arrived, if you can find his entry.
The lists are organized by Port of Entry and some ports are not indexed, or not completely indexed. The lists are in the US National Archives and the indexes are on microfilm. They can also be accessed at the many Family History Centers operated by the Mormons, and on-line through various commercial services.
If your great grandfather arrived in a country other than the US, the available records and how to access them will be very different.

You need to find out if you have a common ancestor, as this is what determines if you are cousins. If your common ancestor is your grandfather, you are 1st cousins.
