Family origin

How do I find the origin of my GG Grandfather who immigrated to America after 1880. Possibly wanted by authorities then. His name was Louis Wieniewitz. Not sure of first name spelling and last name may have been different in Poland. What org. do I contact that is trustworthy and has access to public records.
