Visualforce create child object from visual force search page

HI,
Ihave following VF page 
<apex:page standardController="account" extensions="searchform">  
  <apex:form >  
 <apex:inputText value="{!searchstring}" label="Input"/>   
  <apex:commandButton value="Search records" action="{!search}"/>  
  <apex:commandButton value="Clear records" action="{!search}"/>  
   <apex:pageBlock title="Search Result">  
    <apex:pageblockTable value="{!acc}" var="a">  

     <apex:column >  
      <apex:outputlink value="https://cochlear--guest1.cs8.my.salesforce.com/{!a.id}">{!a.Name}</apex:outputlink>  
    
     </apex:column>  
      
      <apex:column value="{!a.personEmail}"/> 
       <apex:column value="{!a.phone}"/> 
       <apex:column value="{!a.personMobilephone}"/>
     
        
       
       
  
    </apex:pageBlockTable>  

       
   </apex:pageBlock>   
  </apex:form>  

 </apex:page>
basically it does searches when i open the page, however what i like to include is another button on it that when clicked will let me create custom object
Person__c where it will have only first name, last name and Email address how can i do this?
my controller is
public with sharing class searchform {  
   public list <account> acc {get;set;}  
   public list <Install_Base__c> ib {get;set;}  
   public string searchstring {get;set;}  
   public searchform(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {  
   }  
   public void search(){  
     string searchquery='select name,phone,personEmail,PersonMobilePhone,Latest_Fitting_Date__c from account where name like \'%'+searchstring+'%\' Limit 20';  
     acc= Database.query(searchquery);  
   }  
   public void clear(){  
   acc.clear();  
   }  
  

 }

how is it possible, also
is there  a way to display on that page most recent Person Added to that account? 
any code would be greatly appreciated

Do you intend to create a new record for that object or a new object itself?

For that, you need to create some text fields in the visualforce page, and some strings in the controller of the page
Let's start with the controller:

Apex Code:

public String firstName {get;set;}
public String lastName {get;set;}
public String emailAdd {get;set;}

public void addNewPersonRecord() {
   if(!(String.isEmpty(firstName) && String.isEmpty(lastName) && String.isEmpty(emailAdd)) {
        Person__c newRecord = new Person__c();
        newRecord.firstName__c = firstName;
        newRecord.lastName__c = lastName;
        newRecord.email__c = emailAdd;
        insert newRecord;
   }
}

Visualforce Page:

<apex:form>
    First Name: <apex:inputText value="{!firstName}" />
    Last Name: <apex:inputText value="{!lastName}" />
    Email: <apex:inputText value="{!emailAdd}" />

    <apex:commandButton action="{!addNewPersonRecord}" value="Add Record" />
</apex:form>

I think the code is self explainatory, if you need any more help, you might ask
