I'm completely blown away by how much information is available through churches if you just know where to look. Thank you so much Benjamin for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you

Great content, lots of new information
In depth look at other resources available to get more information about relatives and their church activities.
I found today's webinar very informative. Thank you heaps Ben for an excellent discussion.
