YouTube: Barefoot Genealogist

The first resource I'd like to share is that of the Barefoot Genealogist.  Crista Cowan aka the Barefoot Genealogist has been creating helpful videos via Ancestry.com on YouTube.

Some things to bare in mind are that these videos are created for a US audience and users of Family Tree Maker / Ancestry.com, but saying that most of the tips and methology are relevant for anyone making a family tree regardless of the technology they use.

The videos tend to last between 20 to 30 minutes with topics ranging from 'Back to basics' (see below) to 'Proving Native American Ancestry', so there should be enough for most people to get started and perhaps break through any brick walls they are currently facing.

I've embedded Crista's playlist below starting from Genealogy 101, which is a great video to help you get started or refresh some techniques:

Do you have any great YouTube resources you'd like to share? Let me know in the comments!
