    A good resource for beginners is a webinar that aired on July 6 called "Leveraging the Power of "We": a Watershed Event in Discovering Where to Find Your Ancestors (Research Wiki, Research Courses, and FamilySearch Forums)". This is in the Legacy Family Tree webinar archives at http://legacyfamilytree.com/Webinars.asp and can be viewed for free. This webinar teaches you about the learning tools available to everyone, free, at FamilySearch.org. I highly recommend watching this webinar if you haven't used these tools before.
