Best thing you can do is call them up and ask to talk to an archivist. :) They may have tips about using their archives for genealogical research, or may be able to point you in the direction of other resources. I know that for our research on my dad's side, the county historical society and the county courthouse had lots of local records that were useful [land deeds, cemetery records, etc.]

We've most often had luck in using census data, but we also subscribe to ancestry.com... your local public library may or may not have a subscription. It's also likely that you'd need to go to the actual library to get access, if they have a subscription. But some of the census records, if you can find an ancestor, sometimes you'll have the mother listed living with the family as "mother in law" to the [male] head of household.

If you can get your hands on marriage licences or marriage certificates, those can also be useful for getting parents' names. Even if there's only an index, it's a starting point. Ditto for birth and death certs... those vital records are indeed VITAL primary sources.
