There is a possible link to the Kekahuna Family. It may be through my 2nd Great Grandmother her name was Hamole. She may have been somehow related to Berenaba Palenapa Kekahuna.

Comments:I dont know if I'm any relation. But this is a little bit of what I do know about my family. My fathers name is Howard Charles Makekau Sr. and his father's name is Harvey Makekau which would be my grandfather. So my great-grand father would be Henry Makekau. My grandfather Harvey Makekau was born on 1/16/23 and past away on 10/16/51.

My Great Grandfather Samuel had a brother named Henry. I believe Henry was a Merchant Marine, or a Sailor.

My Great Grandmothers' sister was named Josephine Kalanialii Kaniho Haupu at birth. Commonly keiki were named after other family members, you should try researching Haupu Kahele or Kaaiakala Makaole, our 2nd Great Grandparents.

Although I don't know exactly how, I believe all the Lahaina Makekau's are related. I checked some of my sources but could not find your Grandparents. Do you know who Clintons' parents were?

Reply:Angline,
The following information is from the Mormon Archives' Online http://www.familysearch.org/. Genealogy Databases can only list the names of deceased family members. I did find your Grandmother, by doing a search on her name. She was the daughter of a Hoopii born in 1834 & Hookano born in 1838. It looks like someone has been researching your family already, just click on Submitter to find out who that person is. Aloha ahui hou


Name:Kathy Shimada
Comments:Our family names from my mother side are--her father George Swift, he married my grandmother Annie Hapakuka. They married and lived in ULUPALAKUA RANCH. My grandfather was also a paniolo on the ranch. The Hapakuka's are originally from Kahikinui, Honuaula and Ulupalakua area. The Swift's are from Waikapu. My grandfather Geo. Swift's mother was KALIHILIHIOKALA HOOPII. She is from Waikapu. Maybe we have some connection. Keep in touch Katy Shimada

Reply:Kathy,
Yes, There could be connections to all th Ho'opi'is. I've been communicating with some of the Kaho'opi'is and I beleive the Ho'opi'is are ohana to them. As the Kaho'opi'i family grew, their keiki were named "Ho'opi'i as individuals. As Hawaiians took on europianized first & last names, Ho'opi'i was preceded with an english name. We'll keep searching for the connections.

Name:Krystle Tua
Location:Waianae,O'ahu
Comments:Aloha, I would like to introduce myself again I am the daughter of Florence Kekiwi (Tua) who is now married to my father Ene Tua. My mom's dad's name is Lawrence Kekiwi from Keanae, Maui he was married to my grandma Olivia Duenes (Kekiwi) from Makawao, Maui. They had two children together their names are Lawrence Kekiwi and my mom Florence Kekiwi. My mom's brother has four kids. 3 of his kids are currently living on Maui and 1 is living on Molokai. My mom has 10 kids and we are all living in Waianae, O`ahu. I am the 7th child, and 18 years old. My papa Lawrence was one of those kids working in the lo'i that was behind their house. I always wanted to know who I was related to because I didn't meet any of the family. I hope that one day i will, sometimes I wish that a family reunion was made so that i would know who i am related to. I feel that everyone should know who they are related to because, we could be walking pass each and not even realize it.

Reply:I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself, my name is Kona Jugoz, I also live on the Waianae Coast @ Nanakuli. We're related through Nohua & Hamole of Kaupo, Maui my 2nd Great Grandparents, I believe they were your 3rd Great Grandparents. My mothers' maiden name was Leilani Sithar, before she married my dad and became Leilani Jugoz. Her mother was Anastacia Hamole Ho'opi'i before she married my Grandfather Juan Sithar. In my mothers' hanabadda days she said, your Grand Uncle Stanley and her were about the same age. They would spend time with each other, but she never knew how they were related. We recently found out who our Great Tutu Mans' brothers and sisters were. I've been researching our genealogy for several years, with the help of the internet. I made contact with the Pi'imauna Ohana, who live on the Big Island. Through information they provided, we've made contact with the Kale'ikini ohana in Waimanalo, and now with you, the Kekiwi ohana, please pass on the information to all our ohana.
