My name is Jennifer, I am the grandaughter of Katherine Hoke Kuwasaki. For years I have been trying desperately to find my roots to my great grandad Philip Ward Eldred.
The only known information I have based on my great grandad so far that he was married to my great grandmother. Her name was Francis Keohokalani Kanoe. I understood they lived here on the island of O'ahu but not sure of the area.
I also was told by my grandmother that my great grandad was a casualty of Pearl Harbor of December 7, 1941.
The only recollection my grandmother had possibly where my great grandad came from was Logan, Missouri. My hope is to find his birth certificate from this area of Missouri or other.
I am estimating he would have been born around 1905, because at the time of death it was said he was 36. He died in 1941.
I also understood that there was something she recollected about a bank. She also recollected that he may have a brother that may have worked at the Smithsonian Institute.
Anyway, what I hope to find in my search, with all faith, my great grandad's paternal family.

Please if there may be any connection in your info or by family, please contact me.
