Try wikipedia, it's got it all.
The Buddha was a hindu who had an enlightenment episode and came up with the 4 Noble Truths and 8-fold path. Kind of like Jesus was a jew but had a message that was a little (LOT) different from most interpretations of his own religion.
The roots are similar in that they both believe in reincarnation, that the goal is to avoid this constant wheel of rebirth. THey apporach this goal from diff ways though.
I hope that helps you to start. As for the origins of hinduism, wikipedia can help you.

This is nice We all believe in the One true God. Just that we all deliver and pray in a different way. Also the two religions mentioned are not of the violent kind.As a matter of fact they are of a pleasant nature and very soothing

Just go to wikipedia.org. Even if you don't want to believe the person who wrote the article, they almost always have sources to back up what they say.
