Finding Great Grandpa's Parents

1. I'm stuck on Finding my Great Grandpa's Parents, info I have is his parents migrated from Ireland, my dad was named after his Grandpa Arlie G Conner, than I just recently found a different spelling of my Great Grandpa's name, Orla Conner, awhile back on a free Ancestry trial, I found he was born in 1892 approx birthplace United States, resident I don't no were to look or began to identify his parents. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You Shane Conner

Thank You very Much, also. if I recall​ right, I think Ancestry showed his parents names and I can't remember them, it showed them living in Vigo County, Terre Haute, IN as a miner, both parents from Ireland, was Arlie born on the ship? If so what ship and where did they enter the U.S at. This is all I can recall, and that my mom told me my dad's grandpa's name was changed from Orla Conner to Arlie Conner, not sure how true that is, but just remembered that, Orla Conner was shown on a wedding certificate for Herald and Hazel I think

I found an Arley and Pearl Conner in the 1910 U.S. Federal Census in Sugar Creek, Vigo, Indiana, though Arley states his parents place of birth as Illinois. Check it out on FamilySearch:

If this is your ancestor, the next step I would advise would be to look for a marriage record in Vigo County, Indiana for Arley and Pearl, as a marriage record will sometimes state the parents names for the bride and groom. Go to this Wiki page and it will give you lots of information on Vigo County, Indiana:

Best of luck in your research!
