http://www.houseofnames.com/xq/asp/qx/default.htmhttp://www.surnamedb.com/Those sites will give you basic info but what I've done is just googled different phrases like; "[last name] family history" "[lastname] genealogy" Wikipedia has some info if you search up your lastname or at least it does sometimes. If your lastname is scottish you could probably find it on wikipedia because some of them were in clans like "Clan Donald" if your lastname is "MacDonald". Another word for "lastname" is "surname" so you can try using that word instead. @Mikey: Because you may have aztec or mayan ancestry you may want to look up things like "aztec surnames" or "mayan surnames" you may be descended from the aztec warriors called the "aztec jaguars".

This is an English locational surname. It originates from any of the several places called Overton in the counties of Cheshire, Derbyshire, Hampshire, Leicestershire, Shropshire, Lancashire, and the North Riding of Yorkshire. Recorded variously as Overtune, Uferantun and Ofaertune in the famous Domesday Book of 1086, it is believed that the name translates as 'The upper farm' although other explanations are possible. It derives from the Olde English pre 7th century word 'ufera' meaning upper, or 'ofer', a riverbank, and 'tun', a farm or settlement; hence the upper farm or perhaps the settlement on a river bank. The surname not surprisingly is amongst the first to be recorded with early examples including John de Overton in the Writs of Parliament for the county of Huntingdonshire, dated 1324, and Sarra de Overtone in the Pipe Rolls of the county of Lancashire, dated 1327. William Overton (1525 - 1609), the canon of Chichester, in Sussex, took a prominent part in the reception of Queen Elizabeth at Oxford in 1564, and was bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, 1579 - 1609. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Geoffrey de Overton. This was dated 1273 in the Hundred Rolls of Shropshire, during the reign of King Edward Ist of England and known to history as the Hammer of the Scots, 1272 - 1307. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Thanks Dark, i will remember what you said and look everything up later. And for some reason it doesn't recognize my last name. It just jumps to another last name very similar, so i will put this aside for one of those days and spend all that day looking stuff up.
