Comment on Kanaka Quiet Titles in Ko Hawaii Pae Aina by yoforit

Aloha Douglas, I would first locate the Royal Patent to the aina you are referring too. From there you can trace the lineal descendants of the Royal Patent owner. All lineal descendants would be entitled to enjoy that land. The will depends a great deal on when it was written because King Kamehameha when he set up the Mahele (to share, not a division of land) set it up so the aina could never be sold but only passed down from generation to generation and in this way insuring that the people that he loved so much, Kanaka, would never be displaced from their own country. As you can see this is not the case and it is way too much to discuss here.

Try to purchase the book “Hawaii Fake State” to get more of the picture I’m talking about.

Good Luck!

Aloha Sheryl, I would do a google search on Grace and Kahala keying in as many ways possible:

mele keau
mele keau waianae oahu
kahala keau
grace keau
grace kahala keau
etc.

I would also click on images to see if there is any available (more times than not there isn’t any image available you should still look because you never know if there will be or not unless you look).

Also, click on the graves on the left side bar and see if any of the people you are looking for are recorded.

Check LDS, Ulukau, any of the research sites available, I have most of the links on the side bar.

Good Luck!

I reside in Washington State, not sure if this is the right website for this question. If not, I apologize and just delete, Mahalo
Looking for some help. My own grandfather and 7 more of my great grand fathers siblings was to use the land until the third generation, which is my generation. The will specifically states he did not want the land to be sold until the 3rd generation at which time it to be divided equally among their descendents.. We were not aware of a will until 1992. My oldest brother had it. Given to him by my uncle who passed away after that. but he felt all the land was already claimed by GGF siblings. Do you think I can press the issue in court and try to claim this land. It is in maui.Despinda@gmail.com. Have an idea if I should or not pursue this. This was my GGF wishes..

This is what I have been searching for, for I too have a grandma ( me makua o ka lani) and she was pure Hawaiian yet when her birth records were altered when she was hanai after the death of her parents we suddenly have spanish decendants. Mahalo for the works of ulukau.
The work ahead for us to all find our geneological claritiy is difficult mahalo for the ones that lay the foundation in palapala so that now we can search and find our ancestors and bring back the aloha we are instilled with.
