• Notes

  I am Tevita Tameifuna and I grew up with just the two of us in our family. My older brother was Sione Tui'onetoa who died at a very young age. We moved in 1923 to Tongatapu at Kolofo'ou at my grandparents home; Fuimaono Fakaanga. In 1930 , I went back to my hometown at Niuatoputapu. There was a big hurricane at Niuatoputapu, and after a few days, my grandpa, Fuuimaono died and was buried. Then I went back to Tongatapu. I continued in school at Piula in 1934. I loved music and play selected musical instruments begining with 'ukulele, guitar, benjo, violin etc. But Violin was my favorite and I played often in local celebration especially on Christmas time. I took the government exam. in 1940 and passed to Nafualu. In 1942 I moved to the Tonga College at 'Atele College. In 1943, I became a policeman for 6 years. I got married to Salote in December 5, 1945. In 1946, I had my first daughter; Maopa. Then the kids all came like it showed on the family group sheet. I was baptized in the Seventh Day Church in December 1959.
