GENEALOGICAL GLEANINGS-Royal Lines of Samoa

I have used this site occasionally to look over for my genealogy. As you go into the site you will need to scroll down a bit till you see "Oceania".  Kinda looks like this:

OCEANIA

Fiji...Genealogy of the Fijian Royal Family

Tonga...Genealogy of the Tongan Royal Family

Hawaii...Genealogy of the Hawaiian Royal Family

Samoa .... Genealogy of King Malietoa Tanumafili II

Tahiti ... Genealogy of the rulers of Tahiti

New Zealand ... Genealogy of some Maori Paramount Chiefs

 

Under "Oceania" is Samoa.... Genealogy of King Malietoa Tanumafili II. Now their are other Samoan Royal lines this site only contains the genealogy of King Malietoa Tanumafili II. When you click on the Samoa site you are directed to a database of this genealogy. This site is maintained by Henry Soszynski. I am not sure where he got this information nevertheless is it good to see and compare as well as looking at the other Oceania sites.
