At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the Europeans recorded some Pacific genealogies, but most were scoffed at by missionaries and as a result are now jealously guarded. European ancestries may be found through researching the various official government records.

PacificGenWeb, part of the WorldGenWeb project, seeks to link the genealogical and historical resources of all Pacific countries, territories and states together. The aim of the project is to provide transcriptions and other items of research significance to the public via the Internet, free of charge. We need your support and assistance to do this.
