NOTE

MY FAMILY TREE WAS PUT TOGETHER USING ONLY INFORMATION PASSED DOWN FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION BY WORD OF MOUTH.
PASSED DOWN TO MY GREAT GRANDFATHER "MOEMAI EUTA" AND MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER "ENE ALEFAIO AUVA'A".
PASSED DOWN
TO MY MOTHER "
JULIE TUMAMA SHAW SOIMAVI TAGALOALAGI"
(WHO THEY TOOK FROM
MY GRANDMOTHER "
LUPELELE EUTA MOEMAI",
AND RAISED THEMSELVES.)
PASSED DOWN TO HER SON...ME.

JOSEPH MATUA

 

THERE ARE MANY INCONSISTANCIES
ETC CAUSED BY SOME BOOKS, AND CERTAIN ENTITIES.

The samoan people and their gafas
came long before any books.
Not the other way around.

I HOPE EVERYONE FROM SAMOA ALSO TRACES BACK
THEIR FAMILY ROOTS, THEIR GAFA,
IN SAMOA TOO.

 

SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH....
IT IS A GREAT WAY FOR SAMOANS TO LEARN THEIR PAST
AS WELL AS WELL STRENGTHEN THEIR FOUNDATION
AS THEY REACH FOR THE STARS....
