Google the name and the city state or do a people search on one of the people search enginesWww@QuestionHome@Com

Ask your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc!., most likely someone in your family will know bits & pieces of your family history!. If he's on your dad's side, ask all your dad's relatives, someone may have it all the family info written down!
