O yeh .. in order to make your search for ohana easier .. plz know your island, ahupua'a, and if possible location of the aina your roots are from. All of the names listed have a connection to the lands in Kona... the names, if not Hawaiian, are of those our ohana married and may have settled on the outer islands but having their Papa or foundation or roots out of Kona.
Happy researching .. keep the connection ... until next time (not long like this time) hui hou ohana

Aloha, e welina mai nei:
I just got back from Kona, Hawaii after a whirlwind back to back workshop of fabulous ohana at Kahaluu, Kona. Mahalo to all our kumu, our practitioners of all aspects of Hawaiian cultures .. it was and always will be an honor to be a part of Hawaiian Intelligentia.. mahalo.
I will continue from October .. ay .. I neva know I was gone too long .. kala mai ia'u...Aloha Anne and Peni ok. For Anne, you're welcome.. and that is how it all starts, by going through the names hope it will justify your search. For Peni, yes Tutu Naluahine was a well known historian of the Kahaluu and Keauhou areas. His descendants are still in Kona and on Oahu, mainly Waimanalo area. In our recent workshop, one of our featured guest speaker was a Papalii Dr. Failautusi Avegalio. He is of the MALIETOA line of Chiefs out of Samoa. Apparently there is a connection of a / one Moses Kaopua who married Siiva Alisa Malietoa in the late 1800s. Maybe you can help in locating the descendants who are here in Hawaii so we can get together and meet this wonderful person. It was an honor to have met a well spoken, intelligent Professor like Dr. Tusi, as I call him. Speaking of Kaupiko, Aunty Sarah Kaupiko Ruiz also is a well informed kupuna out of Milolii and Waimea. I would love to meet up with her again. Some new additions to the list of these fabulous Kona ohana of ours:
Kupono, Panoke, Kaukaliinea, Naheeholua, Kanehailua, Makua, Kalawa, Kuaana, Berard, Kahananui, Kahele, Wahinekapu, Kuike, Aila, Keoho, McGregor, Inn, Obrey, Kuhaiki, Kane, Kunewa, Kahalewai, Grace, Gaspar, Perkins, Ontai, Naope, Papa, Kaawa, Alapai, Ikaika, Akamu, Limahana, Kapoi, Pahukula, Mahuluae, Aipia, Haleamau, Hao, Olival, Kawewehi, Kaeo, Pi, Haalilio, Kanuha, Ke and Manunu, Paahao, Paauhau, Kuanoni, etc. One of the stories we found was that in the 70's, the lands of what is now Kona Palisades includes the resting place of our kupunas of the Kupono lines. In the process of going to land courts for quiet title, etc. the people involved in the case who eventually won, probably did not know these were the resting place of our kupuna becoause they did not come from Kona or the surrounding areas. I hope they sleep well, and can meet us, the descendants, whose Papa or foundation is of the N. Kona area, yes almost the whole N. Kona are descendants of these aina. Be cautious ohana, our kuleana to malama is here. We take care each other. Aloha au ia oe e na ohana o Kona.. until then ..

These recordings are for the future descendants we leave behind, their legacy, their stories and all that makes us Hawai'i.

Mahalo for your kokua.
