| Comments: | Great site. It's very important to stay in touch with our ancestors, and to know where we are from. Roland and Robert Kanuha of Naopuu are neighbors, and I carry much Aloha for them. Roland is quite a character. There are many changes that are going on and about to happen in Kaupo these days. The old ways are disappearing even more quickly these days, and people like Roland and Robert are among the last of the kupuna in Kaupo. Please keep up the good work. |

I cherish every opportunity I have to revisit Kaupo, and to be able to reminice about how our Kupuna once lived there. I have heard stories about my Uncles Roland & Robert Kanuha, although sadly we've never met formally. Please give them my Aloha . |

I believe we are 3rd cousins, was Daisy a daughter of Kelii O Nuuanu & Mele? If so, was she also given a Hawaiian name? Kukaia possibly? |

I suppose the Sugar & Pineapple Plantation owners wanted experienced Field Laborers, and the Visayas was a good source of "sakadas" or Migrant Farm Workers, like our ancestors.... |

| Comments: | Aloha no, I was so taken back by your presentation of your ohana beautiful. My great grandmother is Mary Kaluhiokalani Makekau from Honolulu she is the mother of my grandmother Marynancy Mailani Molale who recently passed away on July 13, 2001. My grandmother married Samuel Kekoa Molale. If you know of my ohana would you please help me it is so hard to create a family tree alone my children wants to know as well as myself who is our ohana. Since the death of my tutu no one seems to know much she took it with her and it has made it even harder to find our ohana. I do know alot of our family came from Halawa, Kohala, Lahaina, & Honolulu and that there are just a few Molale left here on earth. Please if you know of anyone of my families please pass my email on to them or if you know I would love to hear from you. Mahalo, Tia |

| Reply: | Aloha no Tia,
I was able to trace Mary Kaluhiokalani Makekau - born: March 20, 1889 @ Honolulu, HI. died: March 18, 1947. Her parents were William James Oliver Makekau & Mary Kalaluhi. Found this info on familysearch.org (The mormon archives online). I'm not sure if William James Oliver Makekau is one Kelii O Nuuanus' Keikis, a few of them also used Hawaiian names, and may have changed it to english. Hope this helps.

Once a person dies, his records become public record. If your dad is still alive, I'd need to have his permission to post his info on the internet. Your Grandparents or Great grandparents are probably listed on our website. |
