Vital records are the best source for this. Start with you, then your father, and his father. Each Birth, Death, or marriage record will lead to the parents of the individual the certificate is for.

Since you know where, you might also try grave sites, cemeteries and obits (from libraries). These are all good sources of information.

But that is how it is done, start with your own record, look at all of the information on it. Make sure you have the long form, it will list Parents - usually.
