Forsath or Forsayth? and Princess Tui?

edit

This Rootsweb page and Barbara_Carrera#Career both spell it Forsath.

And http://www.princesstui.ws/html/history.html refers to her as Princess Tui Malietoa Coe. I'm not sure what name would be best for this article, though I suspect it's not "Emma Forsath". PamD (talk) 13:48, 11 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Better History Needed

edit

The article is a little light on details, particularity on how she pushed her way into the DoY Islands defended by very hostile Tolais. I grew up in this part of the world and the name of Emma, and the German times, were not remembered fondly. Emma sported a pair of Navy colts around her bussel, and by all accounts she was not too shy to use them. She spoke all of the local dialects fluently, and laid down her law to the locals. In contrast, her sister Phoebe Parkinson was placid and lived peaceably with the locals until 1944.14.203.207.166 (talk) 03:39, 23 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
