I have been looking in many places on the internet. When I do search, they have nothing to do with my family ancestors or even the surname Bender.

4Welcome to Genealogy & Family History SE! Are you looking for Benders in a specific locality? If so, edit your question to include that place: we can direct you to sites or collections with records for that region. Are you looking only at exact spelling matches for Bender? Spelling variants appear on records through recording and transcription errors. And, if the family was German, looking for "Binder" may find your people. – bgwiehle Nov 2 '18 at 13:38
