 An important collection of compiled genealogies from Samoa is found in the ''<u>Cole Jensen Collection: Oral Genealogies and Genealogical Information Collected from the Polynesian Peoples and from the Pacific Islands.</u>'' These records were collected by William Cole and Elwin Jensen over a period of 50 years and microfilmed by the Genealogical Department of the LDS Church in 1984. The original collection consisted of 51 binders. The original materials no longer exist as an intact collection. However, there are nine microfilms (1358001-1358009) available at various family History centers. This collection has family group records, pedigree charts, oral genealogies, and other genealogical materials collected from the islands of Hawaii, New Zealand, Samoa, Tonga, Niue, Cook Islands, and Frenach Polynesia, including the Society, Marquesas, Austral Islands, and the Tuamotu Archipelago.&nbsp;

 To get the '''oral genealogies, select Samoa – Genealogy and Western Samoa.''' The title is '''''Samoa oral genealogy project'''''. On the list are Oral genealogy interviews which were done in ''Samoa ''by Mulivai Purcell and Tagomoa Matua. A few were done in ''Independence, Missouri'', and in ''Salt Lake City, Utah. ''More than 100 interviews were recorded. Some of the tapes were not transcribed. If we look this up in the catalog and get the film notes, we can see the surnames of the families represented on each tape and film.
-We can also use a ''film/fiche number search ''for these same records by typing in microfilm number '''795863, '''which gives an ''inventory of the tapes and interviews in item 1. ''Films'''795864 and 795889 '''contain transcripts of the interviews. Other oral genealogies are on numbers '''823779, 823780, and 823781.'''
