I am responding to your message on Ancestor.com thru message board, regarding my great grandfather burial at Mataituli property, and our family Aveao named originate from.
I am disagree with your intention and understanding of our family geneology. I beleive you are way older than me, but i'm a mature person and more understand about my tradition, culture and my family geneology.
I beleive you are the one that mis-inform by your love ones that leads you to wrong information.
Allow me, to trace you back in Fagaloa, Salimu and Musumusu or the Va'a of Fonoti( Boats of Fonoti).
MAtaituli and Amafafai are my great grandfather family
from differents marriage. My great grandfather Fa'ausu Fonoti was burial at his grandfather property, but not on traditional services or tautua i le Aiga Sa Mataituli. My great grandfather is the grandson of late Ulualofaiga Talamaivao Falao Saisaofai. Laumoli, which is issues his father Ausai and her sister Saisului. As you Know UT Falao S.L, was the sixth title holder to Ulualofaiga Talamaivao from UT Leo'o. My great grandfather Fa'ausu Fonoti and UT Tavita Fonoti are first cousin by UT Falao second marriage. UT Tavita Fonoti fourth marriage to Toe Pulepule of Solosolo, which is issues your clans UT Vaela'a and her sister Potoa'e and others.
My great grandfather Fa'ausu Fonoti was send to Amanave, Tutuila for purpose to raise there and help his grnadfather family, while her sister Mina was the taupou for his grandfather Filauia at Fagaloa.
secondly, you are way wrong about our family Aveao named originated from, and also your wrong about my understand, about lose it in instant if i don't know my stand. Excuse me....E papau lava le tanoa ia te oe li uso. As u know, that MAtaituli title is originate from Mataitu i le faletua o Talamaivao, maua le igoa Mataituli, tama sa mataitu le faletua o Talamaivao. You should know what is your family named came from and know what is your stand. Because i tell you bradha, is our turn for both Ta'uso title in the village of Amanave. If you know your roots and geneology, you should understand the connections from a High Chief in Fagaloa Ulualofaiga Talamaivo, thru Paramount Chief Fonoti gave him the village of Amanave and send his family to govern and collect rent from Amanave residents. I am more happy to give you this infromation, which is in my possesion from the court.
Thirdly, i admire what Taua have done for the village. Which is good, because is her time to make taeao in the village, and plus Taua is like a sister to me. But right after she take the family title and petition my dad land, everything was change.
Anyways, i suggest you to futher your research back and fourth to understand were you came from and what is your connection in Talamaivao, Mataituli and etc.... and Note not to listen to your luv one that feds you to wrong information and lead to wrong directions Mr. Onosaileloto.
I'm looking forward to hear you from you Mr. Onosaileloto.
