Hi, oh WOW! I am doing some research about the Salanoa family, you see my mother is from the Salanoa family, her mother name is Laine Salanoa, married last name is Saupati...few days ago my 11 year old son was asking me about my mother parent name....and I have no clue, so I called my mother in Samoa and she gave the names....never met any of Salanoa or Saupati family from my mother side, sad a ea...google it and this is the first time I read about the family name Salanoa....thanks for the information....not sure my mother connections, by reading your comments, it sounds like a huge researh...faafetai lava!
