Hi Sabrina,
This is way late, but worth a try. My name is Mekala Uini from Torrance, California. I barely know anything about the Smith side. All I know is my grandmother is Meleseke Smith from Savaii and her dad was George Smith...which is the son of Oscar C. Smith. I didn't realize this side was so huge. I heard Oscar was originally from Virginia. I would love to know more and just from these threads, I think I just found a good amount of relatives. I would love to connect and actually get to know my dad's side, mainly know my mom's side. Anyhow, if you guys can post you're last names, maybe we can connect on Facebook :) I would love to get a copy of the family tree. Please feel free to email:

Looking forward to knowing more!
