My name is Ioana Uli from the village of Leone. My grandmother Pousilaleualesiomeleke was Pesa's daughter. Pousila Pesa and Timoa Mageo were the only children of Pesa and Siava of Taputimu/Fagatogo. My mother's name was Aveolelaomatasaua. Timoa has a son named Umaleava Mageo. He lives in Pago. My 2 brothers and 2 sisters have been vainly tried to reasearch the roots of our great great grandfather Tehui. I recalled from my grandmother that her grandfather was Tehui Havea from Moorea and Fitiuta (Aga'e) Manu'a. It is a coicidence to find out that Tehui held the title of Savea in Fitiuta, Manu'a. I still live in Leone and works at the American Samoa Power Authority (ASPA). It is with hope that I can gather more information on Tehui and any other family members that are alive and well in both Manu'a and Tutuila. Hope to hear from some Tehui family members soon.

God Bless

Tehui has a son name Pesa. Pesa is my Grandmother's Father.
I am looking for old man Tehui's complete Biography.

He was given a matai title name "Savea" in Fitiuta. Has anyone ever thought of the last name Havea (Savea). His shipped wrecked in the ocean of Fitiuta, Manu'a. His first wife was Tagavale. She had a son name Leui. Then he married Lagi Galea'i of Fitiuta.

He has a grave in Fitiuta with no tombstone. In order to have one ordered for him, we need to know his birth date and when he died. I am also looking for the year his ship wrecked in Fitiuta. It is very important that we all understand this poor Tahitian man's history. He was originated from Moorea, Tahiti.

A relative of ours visited Tahiti and came with his findings that Tehui is a royal person from the island of Moorea. Poor man, if he is that important in his island, we sure do not have any proof of his family existense now.

Thanks
