  One way to do this would be to look through the Bricklink categories for [minifig torso assemblies](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&catString=485) and [minifig leg assemblies](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&catString=484). There are a lot of them, but once you find the part you are looking for, you can then learn what set it came from which should lead you to a couple of complete minifigs (click the part id then click the "View" link under "This Part Appears In" on the right).
  
  You could also search through the [Minifig category on Bricklink](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?q=&catType=M).
  
  You can go through those categories by year if you know approximately how old the parts that you have are.
