Your sentence "Mój dziadek był z Polski"
"...was from Poland" It's the past form, so:
"był" z Polski (male form) - Mój Dziadek BYŁ z Polski
"była" z Polski (female form) - Moja Babcia BYŁA z Polski
Addition:
Now :
"Is from Poland"
jest z Polski (female and male form) - Moja Bacia/Mój dziadek JEST z Polski
"dziadek"- grandfather and "babcia" - grandmother of course :)

first translation:
1. "mój dziadek był z Polski"
second
2. "mój dziadek pochodził z Polski"
second translation sounds better.

yeah, I agree with Martyna:
was from = 'był/była z ...' (or sometimes 'jest z...')
Although the sentence 'My grandad was from Poland' can be translated simply 'Mój dziadek był Polakiem' - in Polish it is more natural and oftener form to say that somebody was from certain country.
