Genealogy - heart of the people

The heart of the problem regarding most people of Hawaiian ancestry is genealogy synchronism, accuracy, and chronological order. But we are in step and headed in the

right direction after tending the Ka'uaua reunion in Wailuku, Maui on Aug. 16 through 18, 1996. Even as an individual, Henrietta Pualani Stempler-Manuia Hashimoto, I require knowledge and discipline in researching my grandfather, John Kalei Manuia, born March, 1867 in Honolulu or April 22, 1872 of Kaleimanuia Kalanikaukaalaneo (1832) and Kaluka K. Kawahalama (1838) in Maui. After many years, charts and certificates prove conflicting dates, names and locations. Perhaps people ean help now! Meanwhile, my aloha hānai 'ohana who originated in Lahaina and Moloka'i have shared new info regarding the Kaholokula, Opupele, Mawae, and the "adoption" of myself, to Elizabeth Kaniu Opupele-Davis-Ruiz, from Ka'imi and Miehael Stempler eonneehon. After all this transferring since Makaaha Ka'uuanu's line from hānai and blood, why Maui? Who is Julia Kamaunu? Keanaana? John Manuia Kekai? Julia? Between 18671947? If Mr. Like was able to assist me today as he did since 1977, 1 probably could crack this case. However, please alert me at 210 S. Market Street, Wailuku, HI 96793 pertaining to genealogy. I ean be reached at 808-244-9777. Pualani Hashimoto Research Analyst Caring Enterprise, Maui
