The names of their keiki are as follows; William Kamaile, Louis Moku, Hele Malekini, Phoebe Moku, Harold Kaneiki, John Moku, Elizabeth Eliza, William Moku Jr., Mary Kaea, David Kawika and Alvin Lalau. Although our focus is on William Moku Kaho'onei's bloodline, Helen Kamaile also had keiki from Ah-Young Di-Er and Sung Whan Cho, who although don't carry the Kaho'onei koko, are listed in the registry because of how close these keiki were raised and grew up with the Kaho'onei keiki. The 'Ohana Registry was created in the early 1990s but has not been updated since. We don't have access to the original information used to create the 'Ohana Registry, some of whieh unfortunately is full of mistakes. It is our kuleana to have a comected and updated 'Ohana Registry.
