Keli’i Tau’a lives on Maui. I would also try the Mormon records as Taua were elders or leaders in the church as well. I recall some of the pili to the ohana (which I also share in): Jeremiah, Rutkowsky, Santos,
Wilhelm (east Maui, west O’ahu). Tau’a was one of the teachers for Keopulani’s children–you don’t have far to dig. Al Lagunero, Maui
Waipukua is noted as Kaahumanu’s puuhonua. This puuhonua is in Waihee. Also in this area is several of the alii retainers including Kaua (Taua) and Napulou, Makalawelawe, Kahalekai, and others.
I’m working with my aunt. She hasn’t found the Taua / Kaua connections. We can find where / when Kaua was also recognized as Taua. If you know of the connection could you please share?
