Hi, My name is Gwendolyn Apao. ( also known as Wendy) I am just putting this in to see if anyone else finds it that is an Apao.. a Hawiian Apao (as there are Philippino ones as well) maybe a relative I don't know about.. it's a long shot I am sure..
Anyway.. I am 28, the daughter of William A. Apao (also known as William D. Apao) and Chris L Apao (maiden Pack). I have a sister Rhonda and brother Danial. we were all born here in California. My dad is from Oahu,HI.
My grandmothers name on my dads side is (was) Christine and my dad's dad's name is the same as his.. I have relatives in HI, just not sure of all their names. I do know of Janet, Harold, Paul, Paul Jr. and..uh, roy? somthing like that. If you are related to any of these people or ARE any pf these people please drop me a note, I would love to hear from you!
My e-mail address is: Lovemyturkeybaby@yahoo.com

Hi Sharon!

Well, it's a possibility. My mother says that my great (?) Grandfather and back were all apaU's and he changed it to ApaO.

I havent hear of any sharon's but then again, I haven't really seen or talked to any of my family on my fathers side of the family since I was about......12 ish. :(

Looks like you are in Hawaii. Do you know any ApaO's?

What brings you to Ancestry?

Feel free to write back here or directly and thanks for emailing me!

Wendy,

I got my interest piqued by a post of a classmate back in high school in Facebook about his name which he searched through Google so I've decided to give it a try as well. Then I stumbled upon your post. It's really nice to know that there are other people outside the Philippines bearing the surname Apao. I am Joseph Apao of the Philippines. I'm sure we are not related, unless of course your great great great great grandfather hailed from the province of Bohol, Philippines.

My grandfather used to tell me that some Apaos migrated to Hawaii sometime prior to World War II and were employed as farmworkers in big plantations in that state. But it's really far-fetch to think that one of my grandfather's relatives could be your grandfather since it sounds like there are also a lot of Apaos who are of native Hawaiian ancestry.

Anyway, though we might not be related, it's good to know someone out there bears the same surname as I do.


Joseph Apao

Aloha Wendy...If your father is WIlliam living in California, were his parents William Ah Seong Apao and Elizabeth Parmenter Apao? Both were raised on Kaua'i, married and homesteaded on Hawai'i Island. Their son William moved to California and raised his family there.

Apao name is Chinese, but all brotherss seemed to marry Hawaiian women. Ah Seong became William A.S. (mentioned above). Ah Tan took another Christian name. And by 1916, Joseph--who married Kuia--was already using the name Joseph.

I hope your search is successful.
