Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Not everyone with the same last name will be related, and while it can help to talk to others, it is not necessary. It is far more reliable to work with records and documents, that you KNOW to be part of your son's ancestry, and see where they lead.
The key is that dad is not living, and that is where you can start. Hopefully, you know at least the date and place that he died. If you don't,, and he was in the US, that info should be part of the social security death index. (you can reach that via www.rootsweb.com, and click on searches).
If son's birth certificate shows him as the father, your son has legal authority to the death certificate. You don't need legal authority to find his obituary, if he had one. What you are aiming to find is the names of HIS parents, and their details. If they also are deceased, those should be findable. It could get tricky if they are still alive.
Work with documentation, and try to reach where you have names dating to pre 1930 (again, this is only US). This is where you can look for them in the census records. Those are accessible from Ancestry, or Heritage quest. You have the option to subscribe to that, use a free trial, or many libraries offer it for their patrons.
Asking other persons is always 'nice', but genealogy is based in documents. You just need to get a handle on which records you can or cannot access. Wendy gave some great advice, you trace the ancestry of the person not his name.

The 1910 census had about 55 entries for people named Zahara. Most were born in Austria, some in Russia, Poland, Germany.
Now you have to understand the political changes thorughout that area. Poland as a nation did not exist until after WWI. It was divided between Russia, Prussia, and Austria. Prussia became the dominant state of Germany when Germany became a united country toward the end of the mid to late 19th century. Now what was Prussia is now part of Germany and part of Poland.
