These are some of the most helpful, and in some cases awesome, resources available today ... all of which helped me tremendously in my
family search. These are not so much 'how to genealogy' resources ... instead they provide tools, databases, access to documentation, etc. that you will need once you have started your genealogy family search
journey.

Make Your Own Family History Video
ANIMOTO
http://www.Animoto.com
Find
your family history photographs, then create your own professional
grade family history videos. You just upload photographs, choose background music from the selection provided (or upload your own), and
they take care of everything else. It's free to try, and you will be amazed at how fun an easy it can be to produce a family history video that you can share with your entire circle of relatives.
You can have a 'photos only' family history video, or you can also type in captions for commentary of identification purposes. With or without comments the results are spectacular.
Once it's done, you can upload the video to a blog or website if you have one, or you can share it by simply sending a link via email. There's also an option to download onto a cd, so you can easily make 'hard copies' to give as gifts. Absolutely awesome!!! One of my favorite tools of all time!
