Hi Janet,
There are quite a few tutorials on this subject:
photoshop clean up scanned photo
The best thing is to evaluate what needs to be done to the image and do a google search. It will bring up tutorials that should hopefully point you in the right direction.
Otherwise, you can browse our tutorials, which are organized here:

As Jeff said, The best way is to assess what you want done. I would gather it has damage as far as cracks, creases and to do those first. Then tackle color correction and stains. Try the tutorials mentioned above by Jeff and try youtube.

Janet, the above tutorial are indeed excellent, BUT keep in mind that not all photographs are repairable, especially if detail has been lost from facial features. I have been printing on canvas for a number of years (too many) and the success of the final print depends very much on the quality of the image with which you start and on the quality and characteristics of the canvas on which you print. If you want to send me your file I can take a look at it for you and make some suggestions.

Beginners always want to have results without to know the basics! It is certain that we do not learn photoshop with only two tutorials.
