A huge family indeed (Solien)

Accidently I happen to stumble across some sites that gave an insight on how this Solien person came to Port Moresby. In The Late 1800's, When Foreigners Were Exploring Papua, Jimmy Malay Came As Part Of That Wave, In Search of Bechedemer + Sandalwood. I wanted to know how and where was bubu Nellie’s roots and how she became one of the Soliens. I’ve discovered that she comes from the generation of the first wife (Biria Vediho) of James Peter Solien or Jimmy Malay as he is known and had nine children. They are as listed
1. Maona Solien [Iotai] - 1877
2. George Solien - 1889
3. Louisa Mary Solien [Gorogo] - 1887
4. Margaret Mary Solien [Arua] - 1890
5. James Peter Solien - 1894
6. Marina Elizabeth Mary Solien - 1896
7. Charlie Solien - 1898
8. Vivian Joseph Solien - 1900
9. Mary Theresa Solien [Sariman] - 1903

Correct me if I’m wrong, so bubu Nellie’s dad would be James Peter Solien Jnr. Jame’s second wife which is Biria’s younger sister bore him another ten children. They are as follows:
1. Edress (Edward) Solien - 1888
2. Josephine Solien [Iorive] - 1892
3. Kevin (Sogo) Solien - 1896
4. Samuel Solien - 1898
5. Philomena Mary Solien [Kassman] - 1899
6. Agnes Dai Solien [English] - 1900
7. Lucy Cecelia Solien [Sariman] - 1904
8. Vincent Solien - 1906
9. Madeline (Magdaline Buruka) Solien - 1908
10. Nicholas Solien – 1910

Now bubu’s father (James Peter Solien Jnr) got married to Theresa Resena which is bubu’s mother and had 9 children
1. Mary Theresa Solien,
2. Marcella Solien,
3. Agnes Solien,
4. Rita Solien,
5. Nellie Solien, (bubu)
6. Louisa Solien,
7. Perpetual Solien,
8. Maureen Solien,
9. Mary Meme Solien

As far as I know all seven siblings of bubu Nellie are deceased and she would be one of two still surviving. I think bubu Maureen is still alive. Now bubu Nellie got married to bubu Peter Sariman and that is where the Sariman comes into picture. There is awfully alot of infomation to digest but I'll stop here.Another thing about this research is the most of the names continue to be repetative or past on from generations to generations making is a little bit confusing at start. These are what I have dug out so far. Hopefully I’ll try to do more research and come up with a family tree but I believe that’s a mammoth task.

Kaksy of Varokou

One would mistaken the name “Kaksy “ for a human being but no its not. Kaksy is a muruk or cassowary in English. Kaksy can be found at Varokou Construction Office site. Now knowing that my son loves animals, one wouldn’t guess what the first question that was asked as soon as he spoted Kaksy. “Can we keep him?” was what he mentioned first before curiously asking other questions about its sex, what he eats and the list goes on and on. Jeremiah already owns a turtle and a parrot. We obviously don’t have space for another additional animal. Earlier on when we first arrived, Jeremiah spotted a village chicken and asked his aunt Pricilla if he could have them. Picture is Varokou office site as well as Kaksy the muruk
