        Rose Angeline Kaneha’ilua who married Daniel Kaulili Nahinu
        Mother Leinaala Nahinu aka Abigail Nahinu

        I had the pleasure of meeting auntie Flo Tabag and her sisters. They were very helpful. My sister Bonnie Spencer worked with Auntie Flo in connecting the dots.

        This message is for John Ahu Kahaleiwi Kanehailua. I believe we may be related. I was told as a child by my grandfather that we were related to Ernest Kanehailua ohana. Your name Ahu is also a connection to my family. My great grandmother’s name is Margaret Goo Ahu.

      Aloha,
      My grandmother said her grandmother was Nalu kaneha’ilua. Her tututuman was Kaneha’ilua.
      Her parents died when she was a baby. So she was raised by her grandparents.
      Yes she also was awarded.

      In research we find that her tutu man was actually Kupono Kaneha’ilua.

      I’m just now catching up on reading family history now that I am retired/I have more time
      Much mahalo to auntie Flo Tabag. Great influence in connecting with families. Much aloha to her family.

      I don’t have much info/but my sister Bonnie does. Maybe we can work together somehow

      Mahalo

      Mary Akana: So nice of you to share your info with ohana. Mahalo. I’m going to ask if you referring to aunty Margaret Wong formerly of Kaimuki? She calls my dad cousin but I never did know how. I am a great granddaughter of Kanehailua Kupono and Nalu Makua of Kalaoa, N. Kona. their daughter, Mokihana (my grandma) had 3 husbands, 1. Kaneapua, 2. Kalawa, and 3. LumHo. does this sound familiar with you? I met aunty Margaret in the early 60’s when she came to see my dad, Opukahaia John Kalawa. She spoke of her ohana Ahu, but not sure of the Kanehailua (of Kona) lines, My grandmother’s brothers are Wahinekapu and Kauinui. I ask only if you want to share. Let me thank you in advance. Mahalo nui.

    wow..didn’t realize I was away from here over a year ago…kala mai ia’u…this is for John Ahu Kahaleiwi Kanehailua. Someone shared your genealogy with me not too long ago..you are of the Kanehailua and Kanekoa line of North Kohala. Many years ago, I met your aunt Martha Keliikuli whose son Liloa md. my sis in law, Florence. I asked her (your aunt) if her Kanehailua was of mine from Kona, and she said no, there is no connection since they are out of Kohala. over the years, the lands issue in Kona took a turn for the courts and there was a John Kanehailua who entered the case. This John came from the Kohala ohana line and he may have had the genealogy on hand to be used in that court case. Maybe you can get in touch with him and you can have a closure or find what you’re lookin for..this John’s wife was a Louise…that’s all I know. Doing Ohana Genealogy for a long time, I try not to come to conclusions and say “no. we not related” until I have done research. At present, we find it’s necessary to be as thorough as possible when we document our finds to leave for na keiki…good luck on your search..and keep connected..I will share with you whatever I find….much aloha .. nt waikahekahe/flo tabag

    Aloha John, Please contact me through my email (jwolfgramm@gmail.com). I know the line you are talking about. My grandfather is Ernest Ka’opu Kanehailua II (I believe Wilson’s brother), who is the son of Ernest Ka’opua Kanehailua who married Meliaka. I believe I know Uncle John Kanehailua and Aunty Louise that flo tabag is talking about. However, Aunty Louise recently passed away. My father has done geneology with our family and perhaps we can help you with yours. Aloha, Nita

    for John Kanehailua, it has been awhile since I used this page..but I do have info on your great grandma Luukia…connecting her to the Kamehameha I line…another thing I learned is that my dad’s mother Mokihana is the daughter of Kanehailua,( son of Kupono and Nakuaihaaweawe) and Nalu Makua both of Kalaoa, N. Kona…so they are my greatgrand parents. Tutu Luukia Kaholoholo md. Sam David Kanehailua, then he md. one of the Bell girls…Ernest md Meliaka Mana, after he passed, aunty Meliaka md. a Kenao…the connections to Edith Kenao Kanakaole. My dad’s brother was hanai by John H. Kamaunu and his wife Naai, who was from your Kanehailua line..uncle was born Kamaunu Kalawa and later legally changed his name to John Kamaunu Jr.along with uncle, another hanai was Lahela Kanehailua who md. a chinese guy.. and then, my dad’s sister was hanai by the Eldredge ohana of N. kohala also..her name is Leihulu who md. a John Kuaana…these are the names I come across in the researches, I do believe we have a connection (with great respect to your line), and I see a pattern…I do hope these will help you find use to fill the gaps in your line…I do share all info if you are interested…the most important is the Kamehameha line descendant info .. and then the rest…I am on facebook connect to me for your address, and I’d be honored to share with you..mahalo nui..nt flo.

      Mahalo for the literal meaning. Is there another meaning behind its name?

      Reply
    • Kanehailua, on July 27, 2017 at 7:30 am said:

      My understanding is, Kanehailua means ” Man of Lua.” Because they were Chief Warriors to Kamehameha I. I tend to believe it is correct. All Warriors were men looking over ridges or pit. They must have been skilled Warriors in the art of Lua to conquer the islands (except Kaua’i).
      I thought the same way like you, but was corrected. Whether true or not, because Kanehailua was a warrior he must have mastered the Warrior Art of the Lua.
      On another note:
      I do not spell my last name as, “Kaneha’ilua” nor do I pronounce it with those separating gadgets. If that how you spell or pronounce it? Then we are not related. My grandfather nor his family pronounced it with that kind of ” rough expressions.” The Hawaiian Language has a beautiful flow. Not like you’re gasping for air.

They then had my great grandfather, Ernest Ka’opua Kanehailua who married Meliaka Mana. Then having my grandfather, Clement Kanehailua.

        Naai Kanehailua hanai-ed Rachel Lahela who was her niece from Samuel Kanehailua. Sam had four children from Lu’ukia. Ernest, Charles, Rachel and Lucy. Charles was hanai-ed by his uncle Charles Pulaa nui. Charles Pula’a nui was the brother of Lu’ukia Kaholoholo Pula’a Wahilani. So she was also a Wahilani. Ernest md. Meliaka Mana. After Ernest died in 1933, Meliaka my grandmother never married again. She lived in Nanakuli Homestead before she died in the early 1960’s. She lived in my house in Nanakuli. My great-grandmother was Koleka (kuku white hair) Puao Mana. When her husband, Henry Mana died, she married Kenao. Samuel David Kanehailua was the son of Keliiopunui and Kanekoa Kaheana. Sam’s sister was Na’ai who Married Kamaunu. After Sam divorced Lu’ukia, he married Becky Lincoln. They had no children. She had children from a previous marriage.

    Aloha mai kākou e ko Kanehailua nei😊
    My name is Cheyenne-Ho’onani Kahimaluokameakiʻekiʻeloa Wāhilani. And my hunny is Douglas Kamanu Keliikuli. We are reaching out to ʻohana, who can help us in putting the pieces together to my hunny’s moʻokūʻauhau (genealogy). My father in law was Douglas ‘Umi Keliikuli, who had 6 children with Leilani Manini. My father in law Douglas ‘Umi Keliikuli was born Kanehailua, and hanai out to Keliikuli, and unfortunately did not know his birth parents, as he was the 10th and last child from his birth parents. The only two links we have connecting my father in law to Wilson Kanehailua is his sister aunty Maydeen who is mentioned in an obituary…According to an obituary for Wilson Kanehailua who died at the age of 45 in Nanakuli in December 28, 1965. In the article it was mentioned that he was survived by his mother Julia Meliaka Mana, and his four sons: Francis,Wilson Jr, Kennworth, and Douglas (my father in law), five daughters: Rainbow, Anna, Lucy, Maydeen, Esther.
    So if the above information from the obituary is correct, then my hunny’s moʻokūʻauhau would be as followed:
    Samuel David Kanehailua who married Lydia Lu’ukia Kaholoholo (they would be my hunny’s Great-Great Grandparents). Who had Ernest Kanehailua who married Julia Meliaka Mana (who would be my hunny’s Great Grandparents), who had Wilson Kanehailua who married Hannah Kahaleiwi, and had my father in law Douglas Umi Keliikuli.
    If anyone has more information on the Kanehailua ‘ohana, e ʻoluʻolu e kaʻana mai (please share with us).
    Ke aloha nui iā ʻoukou pākahi āpau,

      Aloha John and the Cousins. I’m Tamara or Tami. I am the great granddaughter of Lahela and TinLoy Chau through Douglas who carries the name TinLoy because he is the oldest son. Tutu Lahela named my mom Hannah Naai.
      The kupuna want us to find them, let’s reconnect with them and each other.
      Bye, Kanehailua’s of Kohala do and have had land since Kamehameha. Anyway, I’m here to be part of the family genealogy movement.
      Thank you for reminding me of my kuleana.

      Aloha Kai 🙂

      Many people on this site are truly related. Auntie Flo Tabag was a great influence to many who are searching for connection. Just as her sisters were and are. Auntie Flo also known as Auntie Chaly
      Insisted on having the right information.
      Sometimes names changed for whatever reason but there’s a trail that can be followed.
      Btw: grandma’s name was Rosario wahinekapu
      (Hawaiians say Lokalia)/father: wahinekapu kaneha’ilua/mother: lahapa kuike
      Raised by grandparents
      Kupono kaneha’ilua and Nalu kaneha’ilua

      Hope that helps

      Grandpa has his own history
      Call me or FB

      Mahalo cousin

    Aloha Ohana, for the record, my grandmother Meliaka Mana did not marry a Kenao. It was my great grandmother Koleka Puao Mana who married a Kenao. Grandmother Meliaka never married after my grandfather Ernest Kanehailua died in 1933. However, she did have two children after his passing and they were my uncle William and Kililani from another man. FYI Charles Kanehailua 1950.
