Aloha Kakou:
I’m searching for Ohana (heirs) of Keli’iKanaka’ole and Kanaka’ole regarding 42 Mahele claims that we have. We have lands on Oahu, Maui, Moloka’I , Hawaii and Kaua’i. Please contact me if you have any genealogy information confirming our connection and to share.
Here is a sample of one of the Royal Patent for Keli’iKanaka’ole signed by King Kalakaua, translated into English.
The Great Seal Patent [or Deed].
OF THE RULER, ACCORDING TO THE MOTION OF THE COMMISSION TO QUIET LAND TITLES
WHEREAS, the Commissioners decided the land titles by means of decree, an authentic claim for
Keliikanakaole, Kuleana Number 7486 in fee simple inside of the place described below.
THEREFORE, by this Great Seal Patent [or Deed], declares KALAKAUA, Monarch by the Grace of God established over the Hawaiian Islands, for all parties, today, for himself and for his successors, granted fee simple land title to Keliikanakaole that entire district at Puapuaa
2 kona on the island of Hawaii; thus the land sections: Parcel 1, Parcel 2
Within these parcels 1 Acre 610 fathoms more or less. All mineral and metal mining rights are reserved for the Kingdom.
For Keliikanakaole the said land is granted in fee simple or for his heirs, and with his safekeeping;
Furthermore, attached is the Statutory Commission tax which shall be levied for fee simple lands into perpetuity.
And so let it be known, I have signed my name, and with the Great Seal of the Hawaiian Islands, at Honolulu, on this
19th day of February 1878.
By the King,/ signed/ Kalakaua R [Rex]
The Minister of the Interior, signed/ J. Mott Smith
