CELEBRATING SUCCESS

We don't do enough of it? And there is nothing wrong with acknowledging accomplishments and achievements of all others within the different family branches. While this began as a journey to trace the Seumanutafa's through the Loligi branch, there is also recognition that as a family of people descended from the Le Fe'e & Sinalelalafa, even better still, is that we are all descendants (including those not related to us) of one even greater - Almighty God. So while I continue to research family histories and write up family stories I shall also be crawling the internet and seeking out new information on family members.
I shall begin posting celebratory notes (in no particular order) on those doing great things in our global community. All those posted here will be identified through their direct parental links. Continue to email me with information on those I have missed and should include.

Congratulations to Loretta Young (descendant of Faga - Seumanutafa Loligi's sister) for completing her Master of Art and Design degree at AUT 2007.

Congratulations to Lesina Seumanutafa (descendant of Seumanutafa Loligi & grand daughter of Leiataua Lesa Auimatagi Siaki Seumanutafa) for gaining the 2007 Dux award at Catholic Cathedral College, NZ. All the best for your future studies toward a career in medicene. (Check out the MPIA 2008 magazine)
