My name is Christopher Kilisi Sola. My father's mother was Afatasi Brown. She married Muluga Su'a/Sola from Ti'avea. Their children were Fagavili (Tauanu'u/Sola), Sa'olotoga (Sola), Tautalafua (Su'a), Afiamalu (no matai), Kilisi (Iputau from Lefaga), Isaako (Sola who was my father) and possibly Tusitala who was lost at sea whilst fishing. I don't think theere were any girls. I have always wanted to know where my grandmother's 'BROWN' heritage came from. Something I regret not asking my father about. I have found your blog very interesting because I have been wanting to leave some understanding of who I am to my children and theirs. Blessings :) :) Hi There. My name is Christopher Kilisi Sola.

You mentioned in your post that Jane Brown married twice - I know the first was to Tupuola from Fagaloa but who was the second? Do you know their children. I too have connections to Fagaloa - in fact my family live right where they call "Afulilo". This is so facinating - I am so excited about this research I can't put it down. Wishing you the best of luck with your family tree. I may have some information you would be interested in. Take care and hope to hear from you soon. polifresh@hotmail.com Regards, Selma Hi Miriama,

I have for a long time been searching for answers with regards to my BROWN Heritage and you have helped me on my way. A lot of the information has been handed to me by word of mouth so it's a matter of sorting through to find truth from fiction. My family are the BROWN's from Malaela & Mata'utia's from Salea'aumua in Aleipata. Keep up the great work. Regards - Selma Christian,

It's great to see the family line go all the way back to its origins. I wonder, do you have any information on Nofoatolu Tamasipani? That's as far back as I can go off the top of my head. Any information on him would be greatly appreciated or a point in the right direction. Tamasipani's son held the Nofoatolu title, Nofoatolu Setu. His other son Kalolo had a daughter (my great grandmother) Sosofa. Her son was my paternal grandfather Leau Timu Salevao, who when it was his turn to take the Nofoa tolu title, declined which the family still talk about to this very day. I have little knowledge of this side of my ancestory, and have only kept in touch with a few that I actually know of. Any information on this line from Lufilufi would be great! Keep up the good work :) Hey, great blog and awesome research. It’s great to see the family line go all the way back to its origins. I wonder, do you have any information on Nofoatolu Tamasipani?
