Because Pacific island family history is based largely on an oral tradition, researchers face special challenges. They need to use special methods. These methods are not widely known among family history researchers, so in writing this guide, we found Pacific islanders who had been successful in doing family history work and learned from them how they did it.The people who shared their stories and information with me were very kind and generous, and it is their hard work that has made this guide possible. Most of their names are in the [[Pacific Island Guide Bibliography|Bibliography.]] | Because Pacific island family history is based largely on an oral tradition, researchers face special challenges.
