Ihe original spelling (1800 Hawaiian/English rendering) of my Hawaiian family name, listed above, might be spelled differently. For example, Stewart for "Steward" or Kuna for

"Epiakuna," and Kanahele for "Kauwaikanahele." If these names have any importance or significance to your Hawaiian family genealogy, feel free to contact me anytime at wsteward52@yahoo.com Aloha.

His mother was Kamakaokalani and her parents were Mahiai and Ka'ao'ao. Antone Marcus was raised in Pe'ahi, Maui, and I found that the "Alu" name was also mentioned in my research. Antone Marcus Haleakala worked on the railroad on Maui but did not say mueh about his 'ohana. If anyone knows anything or recognized his name, please contact me at: hinal3ulu@gmail.com or mail me at: Annette Haleakala-Coats, 73-4330 Oneone St., Kailua-Kona, HI 96740.

Henry had three siblings: George, Theresa K. and Alnia K. He married Miriam possibly aka Martha Naone (bom 1912) between 1925-1930. Martha's parents were Peter Pahukalepa Naone (k) and Makalei Ahina (w). They were both born in Hilo. Martha had five siblings: Peter N., Joseph Makalii, George, Annie and Mary. I believe Peter Pahukalepa's parents were Naone (k) and Manuahi (w). Their parents were Ahina (k) and Nihoa (w).
