Last name research?

Question:

Last name research?

is there any place on the internet that i can go to search my last names origin and NOT have to pay some monthly membership fee to find out my dutch/german or whatever name isnt in the database?
the last time i tried this i went to a "legitimate" company that said my name is dutch and said my family crest is a ...turnip..LOL

im not so silly to realise that my family may NOT have a crest..but some history would be nice , the only thing i know is my grandfather came from "somewhere in south florida" o0;

that..is not a family history..
