2. Hi, this is a simple tutorial to familiarize parents of Blessed Children with Matchbook.
This is the website homepage of the BFA, Blessed Family Association. In order to be able to access MATCHBOOK parents need to be registered as a member and then list their children.
To register select the word login
If you are a Blessed Couple you make a new record separate from that of your parents.

3. Here it is, click to register

4. Father or Mother
Please enter your information
Then add each family member individually.

5. If Mom and Dad are going to have the same username and password then there is no need to enter any information here.
Don’t forget to save ☺

9. I did not enter WIFE information, so look what happened!
You have to enter spouse information, since this is a family process. Both parents must be listed regardless of your personal situation.
Even if you are widowed or divorced, you still have to enter the name, birthdate and generation for both parents.

10. See:

Parents should not complete children’s profiles.

The default order is by “last name” but other options include “age” and “date updated”.
As you can see there are quite a few candidates.
You may want to put some parameters on your search.
Select FILTER for more search options.
