Next, type in the name of the village where your ancestors came from to see if any records were made on that level. Click on the record types that interest you, and print out the lists you get. | |||
To get the '''oral genealogies, select Samoa – Genealogy and Western Samoa.''' The title is '''''Samoa oral genealogy project'''''.
