Typically one finds the origin of a family by finding them on immigration forms, or naturalization application documents. I don't believe that Hebrew names (first, last?) have a geographical component, but you might find on sites like Jewishgen.org (registration required) people who are searching the same surname and see if that narrows down the area of origin.
I have 4 different spellings for their last name which i submitted to Jewishgen with no help. I would like to find out where the family originated in Europe. Anything I need to provide to get the help I am looking for now?
