What information have you definitely got - where have you started from?

Have you looked to see if anyone on here has Benatars in their tree?

and what are you looking to find out ?

'anything' is not very helpful ...

(not likely that anyone reading actualy 'has' anything, but as you know many people may be able to help find something ... if they know what you are looking for)

you mention Africa so try looking here
