Ebenezer Vicessimus and Elizabeth Ann COOPER

martinbriscoe57 — 27 May 2008 10:55:26 GMT

My family comes from Bolton in Lancashire. I have been looking today at a distant branch with probably connections to Samoa or Tahiti.

Elizabeth Ann ALLANSON (born near Bolton ABT 1855) appears to have married Ebenezer Vicessimus COOPER in 1880 in Bolton.

They cannot be found on the 1881/1891/1901 censuses but he seems to have died in Bolton in 1902.

Her mother emigrated in 1881 to the USA and her obituary records

"Her second daughter went to the South Sea Islands as a missionary after 2 years was called to her heavenly reward"

We found this reference

"On December 18, 1900, the chiefs of Tutuila congratulated U.S. President William McKinley on his re-election, and expressed their admiration for Governor Benjamin Franklin Tilley, saying "...you gave us a leader, a Governor, a High Chief, whom we have learned to love and respect." The Reverend Ebenezer Vicesimus Cooper of the London Missionary Society added his praise, writing that 'I cannot conceive of your finding a better man to represent your government in such delicate matters as must always be be associated with the task of 'annexing' than Commander Tilley.'"

Also (referring to Tutuila)

"In 1892 a new start was made when Ebenezer Vicesimus Cooper took up residence on the island...."

Another book has of Tahiti

"Mr Seville left in 1874, from ill-health, and for a time native pastors carried on the work; eventually Rev E V Cooper became the resident missionary and he still occupies the field"

So perhaps he went to Tahiti first after marrying then transferred to Tutuila.

I just wonder if anyone knows anything about them and particular where his wife died, which would probably be around 1882 or 1883.

TAHUI/TEHUI

manaiaalofa — 20 Jan 2005 8:19:39 GMT

Can SKS tell me if the surname "TAHUI" or "TEHUI" is a familiar or common one for the Tahitian area.

Our 'oral' family history says "a young man was shipwrecked on the island of Savaii."

That first sentence alone is the first "brick" [one of many] to my familys' "wall".

Where is 'the young man' from? Tahiti? Tonga? Fiji? Southeast Asia? South America? Now, do you understand the gist of my "brick wall"?

The 'young man' remained on Savaii; married a woman from the island Manu'a; given a matai title, "SAVEA"; has 3 daughters, all having big families.

Why do I bother with asking you?

A family clue that may be a connection. The 'young man' had one son [past away as a child, but his name continues on to this day]
- Ta'iti = Tahiti. Samoan word for Tahiti = Ta'iti.

The 'young man' -TAHUI- is my GGG-Grandfather, c.1830. No, I have no knowledge of the name of the ship - there's a thought, I've never tried immigration records.

Can 'some kind soul' help?

My grandmother's name was Elizabeth Nawahine Makaokekai Paakaula as she was hanaied by Iowane Paakaula when she arrived from Tahiti. My grandfather whose name was Solomon Piimauna Palau Kaluanawaa had brought her back to Hawaii from Tahiti. Later, he married her and lived in Napoopoo, Hawaii. Grandmother was from the Gilbert Islands and was sent to Tahiti when she was a child because food was scarce and illnesses was rampant. Any information to a list of the children sent to Tahiti during 1855--1870 would be greatly appreciated.

Death in Tahiti

marlis11 — 12 Apr 2007 10:59:27 GMT

This is a long shot I know, but would anyone know how to find details of a lady that died (possibly commited suicide) on a cruise in 1966 about 76years old. She had hurt her leg and become depressed. I know from her daughter her body was not bought back to England for burial
she came from Coolinge Farm in Kent her maiden name was Lynette Ida Muriel Lowe, married to John Austen Heritage.
Probably known as Muriel. Born 1889 Stroud Green
As far as I know she was buried in Tahiti, I have tried "deaths abroad" but found nothing, so here's hoping
all info gratefully received , many thanks

KNOWLES decendants

seruwaiasanday — 8 Apr 2005 9:10:23 GMT

Hi,
I am looking for the decendants witht he last name Knowles. The only information I have is that a Eurpopean or american sea captain had married or fathered a child of a tahitian woman, the child then made their way across the pacific and eventually decendants ended up in Fiji, one of which is my husbands grandmother. Our records only go as far back as WILLIAM KNOWLES born in Tonga in 1865 and then married in Fiji. An old Aunty gave us the info.So any additional info would help.Am wondering if there were any children from Captain Josiah Knowles who landed in Tahiti in 1858?

Kind regards

DNA Connection to Polynesia

BillCook94 — 26 Mar 2005 12:07:32 GMT

I have a Y-DNA match to 6 (of 96 sampled) individuals who who were part of a Dr. Hammer's world wide Anthropological studies and were of European ancestry but located in Polynesie. Because of the nature of the study the participant's names are not available. This would represent a common ancestor probably circa 1500 to 1700 and could not have occurred after about 1750. My ancestry is heavily English. So the question becomes who, now in Polynesie, would be a descendant of a Englishman named Cook?

Arrival of French immigrants from Akaroa, New Zealand 1848

ADMcDonald — 18 Oct 2003 3:44:09 GMT

In 1848 a group of French citizens, who had settled in Akaroa, South Island of New Zealand decided to leave, and resettle in Tahiti.
They sailed from Akaroa to Tahiti aboard the "Amazon" - master of the vessel was Captain John Howell. Evidently Capt. Howell was under contract to the French Government.
Does anyone know anything about these immigrants - perhaps
descendants still live somewhere in the Society Islands???
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanking you.

I am looking for any information regarding the surname VILLANT who have lived, or are currently living in Tahiti.
I am aware that a Richard Villant (circa 1924) lived in Tahiti after WWII, then married Fannie ____ and relocated to Honolulu, Hawaii. Both Richard and Fannie are now deceased, and we have no additional information concerning his family in Tahiti or where he came from in France.

My husbands father was born in Tahiti in 1914. His father was Adolphe Euguene LOMMEL born in France in 1876 and his mother was Lucienne Angelina PELTIER born in New Caledonia in 1895. I would appreciate any information on this family at all.

Hello everybody
Allo à chaqu'un,

je recherche l'histoire de la Famille VAN BASTOLAER, émigrée
de la France vers L'Angleterre et l'Australie environ 1840 par Flore-Léocadie Van Bastelaere et Pierre Devouge.
Merci pour toute réaction!

I research the family history of VAN BASTOLAER à Tahiti, who
emmigrated about 1840 from France via England and Australia.
They settled first at the Taravao platteau.
Thanks for all reaction!
