The Rongorongo of Easter Island

Comparative Table of Genealogies

This table is adapted from Métraux 1940, found opposite p.90 in the 1971 reprint, drawn from Roussel 1926 (p.358, list collected in 1886 or 1887), Jaussen 1893, Thomson 1891, and his own, dictated by Ure-Vaeiko's daughter. Thomson's list, collected in 1886, is by far the longest, but he obtained it from Salmon, whose fantastic translations of Ure-Vaeiko's recitations and songs cast doubts on his reliability.

Kings 13-15 of Roussel's list (in italics), appear in Roussel's list as found in Gana 1903 (p.31), but not in Roussel's original list.

The names are cross-referenced in parentheses, e.g. Gahara, the 21st king of Roussel's list appears as number 28 in Jaussen's list, 54 in Thomson's, 25 in Métraux's: J25, T54, M27.
