Looking for relatives in Tahiti/Tuamotus...if you have any info about the above names, please contact me.

Still looking for these surnames...any ideas? Mostly from the Tahiti area and Kaukura.

Hi Kathy,
Found this site while doing some family research.
I do have some imformations regarding the name/surname "Maire" from Tiarei, Tahiti. I'm not sure whether it's the same family conections you are searching for. However, "Maire" is not a common name in Tahiti and usually Polynesian family members will pass names down through family generations.
Please feel free to email me directly if you wish. Email address - sinned.w@gmail.com

Lots of info on the Richmond's - they're a notable family down there. Been to Tahiti, many relations there. The de Carpegna from Italy renamed Poroi - big family, including pop-star Michel Poroi.

Think Branscombe Richmond is a cousin. He lives in Los Angeles and is an actor and stunt man. He is also my cousin. My family namee is Meuel.

Branscombe is my brother...half brother. We have the same father, Leo Richmond who is from Tahiti. How are you related?

We are cousins on my great grandmothers side. The family name is Chave. According to my Mom and Dad we are related to your father so we're cousins as well. My name is Therese. What's yours?

Yes you are. And we are related through the Poroi side, I believe...I don't have my genealogy notes with me so from memory I believe my grandmother, Henrietta Sarah Poroi's sister, Delphine married John Chave. My name is Kathy. I have done some research on the Poroi. Do you live in Tahiti?

No. I live in Moraga(near Oakland). What about you, where do you live? I have been trying to get the tahitian side in my tree but it is very hard to do any research on Ancestry as no documents are available. Looks like I'm going to have to do a research trip to see my realatives in Tahiti(twist my arm). Don't know if you're on Facebook but one of the Poroi's is on there and is one of my friends. I don't know how I'm related to her but she says we're cousins so..Please tell your brother Nina, Chuck and Therese say Hello

I can email you what I have on the Poroi and Chave side. I was in Tahiti in August visiting. I also live in CA. I live in the San Fernando Valley in West Hills (So Cal).
