'''How to browse through the villages more quickly<br>'''If you want to see more quickly what villages the people who gave their oral histories were from, use the ''Register of Tongan Oral Histories''. The Register is a thirteen-page list of the same oral genealogies in alphabetical order by last name, with a column showing the name of the village and a column showing the cassette tape number. The glottal stops are interfiled with the letters of the alphabet in this list. | '''How to browse through the villages more quickly<br>'''If you want to see more quickly what villages the people who gave their oral histories were from, use the ''Register of Tongan Oral Histories''.

Not all of the interviews are listed here, so ''another index ''is being prepared. The title will be ''“Index to the Tongan Oral Genealoggy Interviews.”'' ''Tongan'' people will be descended from at least one royal line, because we are all related to each other in one way or another, so the above references can be helpful in carrying family lines back into further generations. | Not all of the interviews are listed here, so ''another index ''is being prepared.
