Rootsweb newsletter had some good sites this week on basic computer operations and how to do genealogy with some good research links. Try these two sites. In addition, I recommend the Rootsweb newsletter which can be obtained by going to http://www.rootsweb.com Scroll to the bottom of the page for links to subscribe. Basic computer processes http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~besley/basic.html has everything from drop and drag to systems information. This is really good for someone who is just learning and also for someone like me who has been doing this awhile but still has a lot to learn. Some basic genealogical research tips and links. http://rwguide.rootsweb.com This also includes some things on using scanners, etc. It has good explanations about some customs and historical information along with the links for vital records, etc. This also has links for obtaining free forms used in genealogical research. I really like both of these sites. Bette
