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 Genealogy|Hawaii]], [[New Zealand]], [[Samoa]], [[Tonga]], [[Niue]], [[Cook Islands]], and French Polynesia, including the Society, Marquesas, Austral Islands, and the Tuamotu Archipelago. | 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.
