My sister and I do not share the same dad. She has been trying her whole life to look for her father but gave up cause all we have is a name. We don't even know if we are spelling it right. We also have an approximate year of birth. We don't know if he is alive or dead. Any suggestions on what we should do? I wouldn't want to go my whole life not knowing who my father is and I don't want my sister to either.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS), sometimes known as Mormons, have done a really great job of compiling geneology records.

What part of the country do you live? There are many resources in local libraries and vital statistics.
They have groups (I don't know their names) that can assist you. Also, adoption records are now "open" in some states.
Also try "Ancestry.com"-an incredible site owned by LDS/Mormons. Cost is $19.99 month and $99-6 months, etc.
Do you know where he was born or lived? Start with what you know and work backward. Try historical newspapers if you have even a general idea of where he lived. Online white pages can also be very helpful as it gives approximate ages.
