Who were Ali'itasi Collins parents, where were they born what year was that?.
All I know my family the William Collins Snr ( USA ) & Kalita or Talita Finau Su'a Tiuli of Lefaga descendents have always lived in Vailoa, Malie, since 1868, when these lands or estate was purchased, William and his son Joseph Su'a Collins founded all this for future posterities, we have lived here 180 years to be pricised.
Joseph Su'a Collins was born 1850 Lefaga, died 1898 at Vailoa, Malie.
I have reiterated priorily that land is always the motivating force on anyone's agenda be it factual or not it what starts world wars and others.
Mary Devoe married 3x to Foma'i of Falesiu, William John Collins of Havelock New Plymouth N.Z, lastly Seaga Ena of Marae of Malie Village, Upolu.
Joseph Su'a Collins only legal wife was Taunu'uga from Sala'ilua, Savai'i they were together for quite while but no issues as previously mentioned children illnesses causes sterility in male population back then eg: mumbs, measles, other infections does that.
The Sina Malaitai a fictitous figure to throw the scent of the trail, Taunu'uga was a our real Aunt who was married to Uncle Joseph for a few short years as he had land holding many acres of which we still owne today. he died with no issues to carry on his inheritance & name.
Mary Devoe was from village of Leifiifi, Apia, died 1926 buried at Malua, Upolu, Samoa.
Our own burial grounds are located at Vailoa, Malie, this has been since the foundation of the William Collins & Kalita Finau Tiuli Su'a of Vailoa, Malie, Estate 1868.
