KELIIWAIHOIKEONE-Ohana, who are they?

kamakeeainaohana — 5 Aug 2008 2:11:45 GMT

Aloha e:

In researching my ohana's genealogy, I came upong five individuals witht he surname of KELIIWAIHOIKEONE. One of these individuals is my fourth great-grandfather (great-great-great-great-grandfather) with the first name of KAMAKEEAINA which is now our family surname.

Previously I could not find any information on him as his last name was spelled incorrectly and was listed as KELIIWEHOIKEONE; which now I have corrected.

This ohana was from the Big Island and the children were born in the Hamakua District, specifically in Kealakaha.

Individuals in the family are as follows:

Father: KELIIWAIHOIKEONE
Mother: KAUMUKUMU (or KAUMU-KUMU or Kaumukumu/Kaumu-kumu KELIIWAIHOIKEONE)
Children: (female) Honolulu KELIIWAIHOIKEONE b. 1820, d. 1868, m. (male) NAKAHILI), (female) Kalau KELIIWAIHOIKEONE b. 1819, d. unknown, no record of marriage, (male) Kamakeeaina KELIIWAIHOIKEONE b. 1825, d. unknown, m. Kailikalakala (HILIPALAHA).

If ayone has informaiton or resources where I can find information, I would greatley appreciate the assistanct.

My fourth great-grandfather is the first mentioning I can find of our currently family surname of KAMEKEEAINA. Even though I have found the origin of the name, I want to learn more about his ohana and see much further I can take the line. Currently I have nine generations accounted for.

Mahalo,

Freddie T. Hamlin, searching possible family in Hawaii

Naturesjoy — 1 Aug 2008 4:48:55 GMT

My name is Joy (Hamlin) Robinson, daughter of the late Freddie T. Hamlin, who died in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on July 24, 2007. A few months before my father passed away, we were having a conversation about genealogy and family. Now, my father was a stroke victim, so his speech had become somewhat unclear. Knowing the medical condition he was in, he also became very emotional at times. So you will understand the following: It was at this point in our conversation that he told me "We have more family in Hawaii". I looked at him and repeated what he had just said with question. And he nodded yes, and became very emotional. Being that he was in tears, I did not continue with that conversation. My father passed away before I could question him about Hawaii. I have since asked all of his living relatives, include my mother. My parents were divorced in the late 80's. Mom remembers my father carrying around a picture of a little girl with red curly hair. Mom does not know who she was, but seems to think it may have something to do with the time my father spent in Hawii while stationed there. My father was in the Army. He was stationed in Hawaii sometime between 1959 and 1962. I know it is a long shot, but I strongly feel I may have a half sister out there somewhere. If any of this sound somewhat familiar, please contact me.

Nehemia Kahuelaau Nihipali and Lehia Kaupe'a of Kalawao, Molokai

ohana8342 — 7 Nov 2005 7:30:16 GMT

I am looking for any information on Nehemia Kahuelaau Nihipali and Lehia Kaupe'a of Kalawao, Molokai. These are my GGGrandparents. Nehemias' b. abt 1831, d. 24 dec 1909 in Kalawao, Molokai, HI, Lehias' b. abt 1835, d. also in Kalawao, Molokai, HI. I was told by family members and others, that my GGGrandfathers' last name at one time was not Nihipali. And that the Nihipali name was a given name by the people that lived in the valley of Pelekunu. How this came about was that he was a missionary for the LDS or (Mormon)Church, while prosyliting and looking for prospects, he climbed down the cliff that was the back drop of the valley. I was told the only way to enter the valley was to come in by the ocean when the tide was up. The reason for this was to protect the residents from being attack or having unwelcome guest. In the pass there were numbers of (haole) missionaries that the LDS or (Mormon) Church sent to that valley, but no one ever succeeded. Until they sent a hawaiian along with them. And this is where my GGGrandfather happened to aquire the name Nihipali (Climbing Cliff). As to what his name was before that, is a mystery to all the ohana. No one ever made an effort to make a trace of it. My GGGrandfather served several special mission for the LDS or (Mormon) Church for about 14 years covering all the Hawaiian Island. Maybe there is a family out there that has family that he may have shared the gospel with and baptized in the the faith. During the early days the hawaiians only used one name. It was not consider first or last name, just a given name. You may email me at: rnihipali@aol.com MAHALO!!

Aloha

KALAWAO COUNTY ATOMIC WEAPONS TEST AREA WORKERS

frowiss — 19 Apr 2008 10:15:56 GMT

Perhaps hundreds of Kalowao County families had workers employed by Holmes & Narver, 1946-1962 and later, working under the Atomic Energy Commission in Eniwetok, Bikini, Christmas and Johnston Islands. Those workers were exposed to ionizing radiation and many later became cancer victims, still today dying of these cancers. Low six figure lump sum compensation awards for energy worker cancer(21 types of cancer)victims and their direct survivors, surviving spouse, or if also deceased, their children, are now available from the U.S. government.

Von Aspe, John W. Searching for information about this sea captain who died about 1910, but could be between 1906 - 1920. He was cremated and ashes shipped to widow, Elsea Jensine Von Aspe in San Pedro, CA. There was no family in Hawaii, so an obit not likely. The family thinks he died when ship sank. So, a news article may have appeared about sinking. Name of ship is unknown. Thanks for your help, Ed Nissen, edjeanne@mlode.com.

KAHAKALAU, Opupele, Kahikina, Kekino and more

J_Kahakalau — 7 Nov 2001 11:44:49 GMT

My Tutu was William Keahonui Kahakalau. He was born 8/21/1894. It appears he was born in Honolulu. As parents he has listed on his Social Security Application Kekino Kahakalau as father and Keao Unknown as mother. The mother thing is a real mystery. One reason for this is because on his marriage certificate which precedes the SSApp. he has, father: Solama (guess that's supposed to be first name) and for mother: Keao Kahakino!! Tutu always said he had six sisters (??). I have found sketchy records for Louisa Kahikina (note different spelling) Kahakalau (Kalahele m.); and Julia Kahakalau (Pokipala; 2nd m. Kalaiwaa); and a marriage index for a female A.Kahakalau. This is further explained on the Honolulu Co. Message Board. I have posted on this board just in case! Some documents show Keao as Keao Opupele. My sistah, Ku, told me that Opupele is a Moloka'i name. It is Julia's marriage certificate to Albert Kalaiwaa (11/16/1918) that states her name is Keao Opupele and that she was deceased. Louisa has mother as Keao (or Keau) Unknown. Louisa's certificate of birth has father: Kekino Kahakalau and mother:---------- just dashes, no name! Kahakalau interchanges names, e.g. Daniella Kahakalau, Kekino Kahakalau, D.K Kekino, D.K. Kahakalau. I think the name was actually Daniella Kekino Kahakalau. If anyone can help me unravel this I would greatly appreciate it. Mahalo Nui, Joan Kahakalau
