Samoa (Western and American): Difference between revisions

These research suggestions&nbsp;for Samoa were&nbsp;given by&nbsp;''Raymond Purcell'', who was born in Savaii, Western Samoa in 1952.<br>'''1. Fill in forms with the information you already know.''' <br>The first thing a ''Samoan ''should do is to fill in family group records and a pedigree chart of the four generations back from him. Also, if a person has his children and grandchildren, to record their information.<br>'''2. Ask members of your family for information.''' <br>Most Samoan people come to a problem because the genealogical information was passed by word of mouth from the father of the family to the eldest son. If the father of the family is still living, we should ask him to tell us about his family and his ancestors. If the eldest son is living, we should ask him to tell us the family information that he knows. Over the years, some of the names may have been lost and some of the facts have may have been changed.
