The easiest way is to use some Genealogy software or charts, and plan which family branches you want to go after. Start at the root, you. Then down the branches of your parents, then their parents. The better the vital records, the better and more sure you will be about your family the further out you go. The Mayflower society, for example, requires 2 solid records for each person, to tie them to their parents (or the branch of their parents you want to research).

You can get vital records at the municipality where people were born, married or died. Also, the libraries are fantastic, full of Obits and Genealogy data today.

You can visit an LDS Family Search site at the church, they will help you with your research and finding records. No computer needed.

For each person, you will need to write or go to the location where the records are kept, pay for the records and then use the information.

You are looking at the hard core Genealogist approach. I recommend you also use the internet where possible, but it can be done without.
