Genealogy

I am trying to find out my family history so I can one day tell my boys about it. But their is a huge snag. My grandmother's father was orphaned at 12 (maybe). He was sent to live with his uncle and never really talked about it to his girls. All I know is his named and a birthdate. State of birth. Is there a way to find out more. Like news papers, dating back to the early 1900's? I want to find out more but don't know how. Tried ancestery.com but there are a million same name date and state, drew dead end there?

I want to go by a different name because well I HATE my real name spelling and my last name is horrid! Can it be considered an alias to be known by a different name and a dif spelling of my first name. I have no criminal record and intend on keeping it that way, but what makes it an alias?

This was brought up during a discussion at work, and nobody could answer it. The more I thought about it, the more it bugged me. Was this surname wiped off the face of the earth? If so why? There are plenty of horrible mass murderers throughout history. If you try to answer this question, please provide some sort of proof on how the answer to the question was formed.

My last name is Parris, but everywhere I look it says my name is from France or Belgium. I am neither, it would be Jewish, Scottish, or Irish.

I don't have much to go by, except my Grandpa's first name, which is Herschel. My father is in prison and I'm not very close to his family.

Good places to start that don't cost a lot, or that are free? Any help at all is appreciated.

My dads family is Arab and My moms family is Bolivian but I am White. I mean in comparison to everyone else in my family I look white. Now my grandmother on my moms side is white as well so I have been searching using our last names but I cannot find anything. It is way to difficult to even find anything. I thought it should be simple to do with the internet and all but its not.

From what I know my fathers mother is from Greece and that could be why I am lighter skinned than everyone else. Also I have a suspicion that my moms mother is German. So how would I go about confirming these? How can I find my Ancestors???

My last name is Bahu. My moms family's last name is Vacaflor and her moms maiden name is Herrera.

Can anyone give me advice on how I can find my Ancestors??
