these names come up on our family file too..

If you dont mind me asking...but where does all the information come from originally?

I found ours on a church website, and need to confirm the original dates and places..

and find out more about the names and where they come from and what they mean and all.

We are of the Anae family in Falelatai, we come in from Tiumaluali'i Lilomaiava Tuitoga who married Alainu'uoti Safuta.

If you have more information let us know...

Hi there

I know your message is two years old but i thought i would reply anyway..

I have some notes of the same family ...but we are of the Anae side, from tiumalualii and alainuuoit Safuta...

I am looking for information aswell...on this topic...

Hi, I am also definitely of this lineage..I am the namesake of My grandmother - the late Elena Fatuvalu Fonoti Papalii, (Taimalie Tema) older sister of Papalii Manufou..and sister to Ulavao..My father is the well known comedian Siaki Taimalie Tema and I am currently trying to trace the lineage of our great great grandmother Mele Fraser..if anyone can shed any light ..that would be awesome! I recognize alot of the names already mentioned and its good to see that the family names of Natuitasina, Vainuupo and the like are still prevalent today!!

Hi Elena. It's your cuzzie here from P..town Weligitone. Hey I've just come back from Samoa with a few notes from my daddy. I have to go through them because they are handwritten and they were done a long time ago. But I know it is of the lineage down from Malietoa Gatuitasina. So to all the Papali'i clan I've seen on here, yes we are all related and when I have time I will post the info on for you guys.
Alofa'aga to everyone. Lots of love to my Uncle Siaki
