him. With Barrass, she had a daughter, Grace, who married Rose and had three children, Gustave, Helen (married Hedeman) and Alexander. With Wm L Green, she had a daughter, Elizabeth (married Freeth), and a son, Wm L Green Jr. With Archibald Cleghorn, she had three daughters, Rosie (married Roberts), Helen (married Boyd) and Annie (married Woodenberg).

My grandfather's name was Alexander Dowsett Jarrett, and my great-grand-father's name was William Paul Jarrett. I have a family tree that has the last names Jarrett, Bruhn and Reeves, most extensively. I would really appreciate any help in this matter, as I would like to meet my family.

Box 1291, Ha'ikū, HI 96708, or by email at Hawnrozz@msn.com. Jones — The family of Eva Kapilialoha Jones Miller is currently conducting research on our genealogy. Eva Kapilialoha Jones Miller was born in Lahaina, Maui, to Mary Pi'imoku Jones in 1896. Her grandparents were L.B. Jones and Pi'imoku Jones. She also had a sister named Mae. She also had two uncles named William Jones and Paul Jones of Lahaina. She married Eassie Miller in Honolulu in 1911. All contact with this family has been lost, and we are very interested in learning more about our beloved grandmother's family. If anyone could kōkua us with any information, it would greatly be appreciated. Please email Ann Hewett at inuulu @yahoo.com or eall 554-5232. Kalaau — I am seeking information for all the children of James Kalaau (1868-1932) and Keohonui Kawika (1871-1991). James Kalaau is also known as Keoahunui Kawika. Some of their children are: Jennie (married Henry Paleka) and Helen (married Herman Holstein). Was there a Julie? Were there any other children? Contact Herman Paleka at P.O. Box 510112, Keālia, HI 96751. Kalohi — I am seeking all available genealogy information for the Kalohi 'ohana who lived in Hāna/ Honolua, Maui, between 1850 and 1899 or earlier. My great-grand-father, James Kauakahi Kalohi Kalama (1880-1929), applied for his marriage license in July 1899 so he could marry my great-grand-mother, Mary Ann Kahalewai Searle (1876-1952), who was from the Honolua Ranch. Original marriage records in the Honolulu Archives showed his last name to be Kalohi (James Kauakahi Kalama Kalohi). Somehow, somewhere, his middle and last names were altered. He went by Kalama after his marriage because their son and my grandfather, Richard Kauakahi Kalohi Kalama (1900-1954), used Kalama. All of his children had that last name, including my mother, Stella Ululani (Kalama) Loughmiller. The Hawai'i census showed grandfather James andthe Kalohi 'ohana lived nextdoor to the Kawananahopu Kalama 'ohana in Hāna. Further more, my grandfather James was a witness to his sister Emaline Kalohi's marriage in 1901 to a Kanohi and signed the license as James K. Kalohi. When he died in

January 1929, his sister Emaline verified his death certificate as James Kauakahi Kalohi Kalama. However, his obituary and his burial records at the O'ahu Cemetery in Nu'uanu showed his name as James Kauakahi Kalama Kalohi. I would appreciate any kōkua from the Ho'ohui 'Ohana readers who ean set me straight on my dilemma. Contact me, Danny Kalama, by email at drkalama@comcast.net or eall me at 801-825-5436. Kauli'a/Kapinao — The descendants of Sam Kauli'a and Mary Kaiahua Kapinao (a.k.a.

The children of Sam and Mary include I (John), Puni, Mary, Abigail, Pukai or Keohopukai (Hannah), Pakanaka, Nawai and two hānai: Agnes and Peter Akimo.
