Hello, I am trying to get to know my Mom's family. Her name is Lisi Ama-Te'o. My grandfather was the late Alotoa whom I only got to see 4 times in my lifetime. She has so many siblings of whom I have never met...but would love to meet and get to know them. I have 4 children and I would love my children to get to know ALL their relatives. I really wouldn't want my children or nieces and nephews to end up with any of their long lost cousins. Please email me I would love to know more. Thank you.

Talofa lava,

My father was the late Ama Alotoa who passed away 2years ago and I believe your biological grandfather Siaosi was my uncle who married a Tongan. I have heard of aunty Latafale as well.I believe they were granfather Ama Aifala's children from his first marriage.
I am currently living in New Zealand with my family and I would love to get in touch with you and talk more about it.
