Title: Samoa
Post by: jennifer.annette on Wednesday 03 February 10 10:15 GMT (UK)
Hi,

I am looking for someone called Lepa Samatua, who I think is of Samoan origin, but lived for some time in her teens on Penrhyn island (also called Tongareva, Mangarongaro, Hararanga, and Te Pitaka).   She and her family then moved to Tahiti in July 1957 and that's when contact was lost.  I'd be very grateful if anyone can help.

Thanks,

Jennifer
