O Makalapua keia
I find your website so uplifting, especially when doing geneology. I was chosen by my dad to be the keeper of the family geneology. I would like to commend you on such great work. My dad and his brother are in their 70's and they have done some research over the years.
I am the daughter of Robert Maihui Kanuha Sr. and Doris Peke Kalawainuinakoakaahanui
Both my parents are from Maui.
My mama is from Kahakuloa and my dad is from Naopuu, Kaupo.
Ashlyn Kanuha is my niece who is the daughter of my brother above me.
Alcian Clegg is my cousin, her mother is my dad's sister.
Our grandfather is Louis Haupu Kanuha.
My understanding is that my grandfathers mother was Kaaikala Kanuha and father, Stanley Haupu. We have no pictures of our great grand father. We don't even know what he looks like.
Yes, our great grandmother Kaaikala Kanuha became very ill with hansens dieses
and was sent to Kalaupapa. Her uncle was John Noa Kanuha who raised my grandfather a |

It is so awesome for you to verify much of the information on our site regarding Kupuna Kane Louis Kanuha. With every visitor another branch of our family tree becomes more apparent.
Yes I have been in contact with Ashlyn & Alcian through emails. It is good to make contact with you, since you are the one entrusted with the Kanuha genealogy. Much of what I know is information from records at the State Archives & Census reports, so it is very important to me when someone can verify the records. My Grandmother born Anastacia Hamole Hoopii was one of Louis Kanuha's neices. Her mothers name was Elizabeth Haupu before she married my Great Kupuna Kane Bernard Hoopii. Elizabeth Hailani Haupu was the eldest child of Josephine Kaaiakala & William, David Paul, or Stanley Haupu. I'm not sure if these english names are all the same person? Anyways if you would like to collaberate on the genealogy please write to me offline. Looking forward to your response.

Noel,
The Family name Apo is connected to the Makekau's, Mima Makekau married a chinese named Ung Po. Their decendents began using the surname Apo, Mima Makekau was born in Lahaina, Maui approximately 1871, after they married their decendents may have scattered. She is the one of 14 children born to Kelii O Nuuanu & Mele Makekau. If this is your lineage then we are Ohana.
Stay in touch,

Roberto,
Like your dad, our grandfathers both from the Philippines didn't feel it was important for their children to know about the Ancestry. Or maybe no one never made a determined effort to find out. How I found out their parents was through the US Social Security Administration. You can write to them & for a small fee they will send you information. Normally I don't post Emails on our site because of privacy issues, but if you want I'll leave your infomation on.
Aloha & God Bless

Mabuhay Donnel,
Would be great if you have any information on our Limsiaco heritage. Our grandfather didn't talk very much about his mother, or her family.
Merry Christmas

| Comments: | Aloha and Mahalo for sharing all of the Manao. Well heres my story.
My tutu kane is David Nawai Kaluhiokalani and my tutu wahine is Anne Silva Kaluhiokalani. Both from Kahuku Oahu. Both are now deceased. My tutu kane retired from Kahua meat company where he worked for many years and po ho I cannot remember what my tutu wahine did before passing. My makuakane is Clarence Roy Kaluhiokalani and Makuahine Theola Lana Moore-Kaahanui Kaluhiokalani. Both still living in Honolulu. As far as I know all us Kaluhiokalani is related no matter what. I know that my cousin Nona Kaluhiokalani who is now passed started a geneology for the ohana but now no one to take over. Maybe you can finish one for all the Kaluhiokalani's near and far. I think we could all live in one big state and still not enough room what you think? LoL anyway mahalo for this site. |

Aloha Kehau,
Thank you for visiting, I thought I came across your name before. Tia Mailani (Poopaa) Kahawai is another person who visited our Ohana website and also was ohana to the Kaluhiokalani. Her Grandmothers name was Mary Kaluhiokalani Makekau.

| My Great-Grandmother "Kelupoka Kekua Ha'o Ka'aimoku" married S.K. Makekau July 3, 1895. That makes S.K. Makekau my Great Grandfather. My Great-Grandmother's grandfather was Ha'o and lived at Maliko Bay on Maui. We are also related to the Farden's, Enomoto's, Ah Chan's, Po'opa'a, and Lum Ho; all of Maui. Based on the Makekau connection we may be related...have you come across this path in your genealogy research? Best Regards... |

Aloha Charles,
According to LDS Archives Kelupoka Ka'aimoku had 4 daughters; Sarah, Mary, Kapika & Ana, one of them possibly is your grandmother? Do you know if S.K. went by another name? There was a Samuel Umi Makekau born in 1863, he was my Great great grandfather Charles Makekaus' brother.

Aloha Jessica,
There are many sources on the net, the LDS Archives is one of the largest databases. You can get it at http://www.familysearch.org. Just wondering if Kahawai was always Kahawai, or if it was shortened from Kahahawai like the Kai name.

| Aloha my name is Shalinda Kaalakea. One night when I was on the net, I came across The Koa Tree Ohana web site and decided to read some of what people had wrote. I read the comment of (Krystle Tua) and she mentioned the names of Lawrence and Stanley Kekiwi form Keanae, maui. she also talked about Tutu man & Tutu Lady plus the taro patch. I then said to myself that I've found family. I lept on reading and I saw Jennifer (Kekiwi) Kawai's comment and I KNOW we're family for sure. My mothers name is Lani Loe the baby sister of Lawrence, Stanley and Jerome Kekiwi, she's the 15th child of 16.My mom has 3 kids all grown up and from Lahaina, Maui but know lives in Wasilla, Alaska. I'm really glad that I found this web site now i can read up on it and maybe find more family members. Please if any of the Kekiwi Family/cousins come across my comments please e-mail me at kaalakea@hotmail.com OR jnskaalakea@yahoo.com so we ALL can keep in touch. |

Aloha Mai Shalinda,
My name is Kona, I am the webmaster of the Koa Tree, and yes I beleive we are also cousins. The Kekiwi's are cousins to our Hoopii Ohana. My mother and your mother are 2nd cousins, the confusing thing is that our Kupuna James Kekiwi & Bernard Hoopii used different surnames. I tried to explain why on the the Hoopii page of the site. Anyway we share the same Great great grandparents Nohua & Hamole O Kaupo, Maui
