Request help in finding out about the exact ancestors of two Wallisian sisters by the name of Amelita or Emelita Teki Falelavaki and Katalina Falelavaki. they were born around the late 1870s or early 1880s in Wallis.Their parents were beleived to be :- (father) - Palatino or Patelini son of one Soane Patita of a Royal Family in Wallis in the mid 1800s nd their (mother) :- was Sulita Puhetahi Tamole daughter of a reighning Tamole in Sigave in Futuna also around the mid 1800s.

Amelita/Emelita married Maxwell Wendt son of Ernest Wendt & Elizabeth Smith/Schmidt also of Wallis at that time around 1900 and Katalina married Taise Kamali also around the same time in Wallis. Both families moved to Fiji around the 1920s.

I am a direct descendant of Maxwell & Amelita /Emelita.

My dad Peter Wilfred Wendt was baptised in a Catholic Church in Tee'si, Mua Wallis around 1920 which might shed some light on the exact Wallisian Families i am connected today.

Thanking anyone for any help in advance.
