Green — Seeking infonnation on our ancestor we know on!y as Lepeka Kahalaunani. She had children from Barrass, Green and Cleghom, and later married someone by the name of Larash, but had no children with him. With Barrass, she had a daughter, Grace, who married Rose and had three ehildren, 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 Cleghom, she had three daughters, Rosie (married Roberts), Helen (married Boyd) and Annie (married Woodenberg). We don't think Kahalaunani is a last name. If anyone could kōkua us with information, it would greatly be appreciated. Please email Judi Weatherwax at kikokela@yahoo.com.

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-grandfather, James Kauakahi Kalohi Kalama (1880-1929), applied for his marriage license in July 1899 so he could many my great-grandmother, Maiy Ann Kahalewai Searle (1876-1952), who was from 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 (19001954), used Kalama. All of his children had that last name, including my mother, Stella Ululani (Kalama) Loughmiller. The Hawai'i census showed grandfather James and the Kalohi 'ohana lived next door to the Kawananahopu Kalama 'ohana in Hāna. Furtheimore, 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 Januaiy 1929, his sister Emaline verified his death certificate as James Kauakahi Kalohi Kalama. However, his obituaiy and his burial records at the O'ahu Cemeteiy 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 by phone at 801-825-5436.

Kauli'a/Kapinao — The descendants of Sam Kauli'a and Kaiahua Kapinao (aka Mary Pinao) of Ka'ū, Hawai'i, had its quarterly reunion meeting in Kona on Oct. 6. One of our main goals is to have a large reunion sometime during summer 2009 in or near to Ka'ū (exact dates and loeahon still pending). The children of Sam and Kaiahua

Ka'auwai from Kaua'i), Keahi (married E. Macomber of Ka'ū), Pukai (manied E. Delos Santos from Ka'ū), Pakanaka (married T. Martinsen of Ka'ū), and Nawai.

However, we are still in search of descendants from Pakanaka Martinsen, Agnes Kauli'a and others as well. Since there are 'ohana residing on all four major islands, the steering committee has elected to have quarterly rotational meetings hosted by 'ohana living on these islands over the course of the fhst year, then evaluate our accomplishments after the next O'ahu meeting in April 2008. These quarterly meetings will allow Kauli'a descendants to attend loeal gatherings and provide the committee sufficient time for planning and gathering all necessaiy copies of documents to organize the genealogical chart and family book. The next meeting will be on Maui, Jan 18-20, 2008, in Wai'ōhuli, followed by the April 19 O'ahu meeting.
