I so loved this the childrens of three women they came together and embrace each others with love and compassions. That is call family.

I am so happy to find this! I am a Coe descendant, and live in the U.S. My great-grandfather, Otto Schaumkel is the grandson of Jonas Coe. As I was watching this video, I felt a strong connection to everyone. Ancestors are rejoicing for this connection. Thank you Coe descendants for keeping the spirit of family alive today. Cheers

Years ago, I remember we used to go church with a Coe family. The son's name was Jonas too lol which is really cool. They were a great family too. Last time I heard, they moved down to Melbourne.

You guys should come to East New Britain Papua New Guinea where Queen Emma lived. She's popular here. There's even a chocolate named after her coz she grew cocoa and coconut plantations here. Queen Emma a true Tolai.

He loved the last wife the most🤣🤣🤣

Very interesting piece. Descendants gathering from three different wives as one family.

At least the Coe's can track their ancestor. Mine (Ned Purcell) is a mystery and speculations abound. I wish the Purcells could do the same one day

2:01 This was Queen Emma's mansion 'Gunantambu' built at Ralum, New Britain, in 1886 in Niu Gini. She furnished it wish items from Samoa. You can still visit it today but all that remains is that first set of stairs in the rock wall at the entrance.
