Start at the top of the On-line documentation http://docs.gimp.org/en/

Then use Google site specific (eg.) "site:docs.gimp.org Combining 
Images" (w/o quotes)

or just use Google: "gimp Combining Images" (w/o quotes) which will 
normally show you the same hits from docs.gimp.org together with 
relevant hits from the hundreds (thousands (?)) of tutorials which have 
been posted by the community of gimp users.

These may include "stuff" in other languages and/or "stuff" originally 
for other versions

Or you may have also missed the ability to drag a layer from one image 
to another.
Have Layers dialog open with images Source and Target open and visible 
with focus on Source image. Then drag a layer from Source and drop it on 
Target image.
