The internet is so amazing. I may have found my Samoan heritage and possibility to learn more about my roots.

Hi Su'apa'ia Family, I don't believe any of you would know me, but I did learn from my father at a very young age that we are related to the Su'apa'ias or Su'as as they are now commonly known.  I am the youngest daughter of Ta'aluava'a Fiso & Iolesina Pouli Fiso.  I grew up in Aua, Am Sa, moved to NZ in 1985, and onward to Australia in 1999.  I am married with one child, a 12 yr old son we named Darhys Brigham.   My father's mother is Sefilina Tuipelehake, (grand daughter of Alipate & Taiana Tuipelehake),  his brothers are Puifatu, & Avefua, and his sisters are Fetineia'i Fiso Tauili'ili and Rosa Fiso Agavale.  All are now deceased except for uncle Avefua who still resides in American Fork, UT.  I came across your website by accident, however, I'm glad I did.  I associate with some of Tinei's descendants who live in Brisbane Australia.  Tinei's g/daughter Rosa Su'apa'ia Siteine lives 15 minutes away from me, and we attended the same ward when they first moved here from NZ, and later discovered we're family.  what a small world aye?  Anyway, i took that Family Jeopardy  quiz and got 8/10 which i thought was pretty good. :-)  My father had great knowledge of his genealogy, especially on his mother's Tongan side.  He kept record of his family history before he passed away in 1980, but the book went missing from our hands and to date, have no clue of its whereabouts.  Anyhow, hope one day I get to meet some of you if not all of you.  Keep up the great work whoever looks after this site, and good luck with the next reunion preps.much luv, from OZ!

Bummed I missed the last reunion but hope to meet you all at the next one.  I swear I will be more prepared :) Saimasina/Emosi>>Kipeni>>Salote>>Simaile (Cisco)>>Renee

Hi Family.  Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy, Healthy and Successful New Year.  I got emotional looking at pictures and reading messages from the 2009 Su'apa'ia Family Reunion.  It was great to see so many of you and look forward to seeing many more of you in Utah in 2012.  It was especially nice to be with all my brothers and sisters and their families. Our Elder Travis-Michael Tuipelehake returns from his mission (Leon, Mexico) this year so we will all be there in Utah in 2012. I want to encourage our children Justin & Melissa in Pleasant Grove, UT and Natasha & Gene in St. George, UT to assist where they can with the UTAH 2012 Su’apa’ia Family Reunion Committee. You Go Utah Committee….!!!!   Alofa,   Love Nina & Murphy ps....LA 2009 Committee…We miss you, thanks for the memories!  

I enjoyed catching up with the family through this website...thank you.  What a big aiga we have...can't wait till the reunion.
