Welcome to All

To the family, let me be the first to welcome you to the family page. I have recently received many emails from all abroad of the gratitude and many thanks for starting this website of ours, kaiheli2.20m.com. It has been a great treasure for me personally to start the website as I have been able to connect the past and the present for our future as one and as a family. The main idea of the website has been captured by the users and browsers of the website and it is a constant development as we step into the future.
For those who do not know me, let me formally introduce myself, my name is Richard Selwyn Fifita, son of Tevita Tu'ipulotu, son of Leimoni, son of Havili, son of Ikani. When my father approached me into developing a form of informing the present and the future of our family, I came up with the idea of starting our own personalized, set website instead of using other medians/social network such as Facebook or Bebo, as other families have used, to inform others of a great and rather large family of who we are and where we come from. this website will not stop developing over the years as new addition will come and the expansion of the family continues.
Even though I have created and administrating this website, this is not my website but ours, kaiheli2, therefore I wish to invite you to contribute to the website by posting comments of thoughts questions or simply dropping in to say hello, is most encourage. I would also encourage you to tell stories of the family such as: i) Why we are well known as the Kai Heli/Kai Afi family in the home land, Tonga? ii) Why 90% of the males in the family is named Lisiate/Richard? And many more other stories of the family as these stories would be lost with the past and gone with our forefathers and mothers. These are great stories that needs to be shared with the present and past on to the future. Along with the stories I would also like to ask for a contribution of photos of family member so they can be collaborated and then added to the website for everyone around the world to view and commemorated the family.

A question that has been asked on numerous occasion is Why the name? why Kaiheli2?
its in reference to Ikani and his position as the second child of Lisiate and Neomai hence the number 2 as well as the website is based on the genealogy of Ikani or in other words koe tau tupuang'a oe famili mei a Ikani. its primarily to differentiate between Lisaite Maka's line (Kaiheli1) and Ikani's line (kaiheli2) and so on.

Feel free to ask any more question but for the mean time, thank you
