Hi Foxo,
A lot folks started out finger picking on Freight Train by Elizabeth Cotton. It was the first piece I learned, a simple version in Mark Hanson's book on Travis picking.
You might also enjoy some of John Hurt's simpler tunes for starters. Lightin' Hopkins, too. Plenty of online teaching for this stuff.
I've been at it for just over 3 years and there is no way I would try anything by Bert Jansch!
Good luck!
