  Folks at Keawalai church may have info re: Poepoe family. A number of Poepoe lived in Makena and are buried at the church.
  Two of your husband’s ohana that you mentioned are listed in cemetary records and I have seen their graves. Not sure if they are the same folks

Hi,
My 3 boys are from the same family line. Aunty Mahi Poepoe handed me a copy of the Poepoe genealogy many years back. Feel free to contact me and I can send you a copy of what I have.

    Daniel,
    Through a series of moves I’ve lost the book. Would it be possible for you to send me a copy of it. I’d be happy to pay for it. I do want to add to the list as I have so much more to add to it.
    
    The last I saw of your grandmother’s book was when I copied over 500 pages of it when my son was 5. He’s 27 now and with 2 kids of his own.
    
    Please contact me directly. jay63ar@yahoo.com

  Aloha,
  My maternal great-grandparents are George M. and Susie M. (nee Poepoe) Kauaulalena. If this is the George you are seeking I have some info that I’m willing to share. Tutu Metaka is buried with his mama (Tutu Makahala) in a cave just below Kanaio Church (aka Piiloa Hale). I hope this helps.
  
  Are you related to Margaret Uwekoolani? She was living next door to Kanaio Church the last time I attended service there.
  
  I hope this helps you. Please email me … mai hilahila.

Hello, this road to my family genealogy has been difficult. Anyone who has resources please advise. My Dads mother (my grandmother) was Mabel Poe Poe ( deceased 1944). Her brother was Raleigh Poe Poe. That’s about all I have. My dad doesn’t know because he was only 6 when his mom passed. I’ve been to Keawalai Church in Makena. What kind of information might I be able to gather there?. Aloha John

    Birthdate for my grandma Mabel Poepoe of her headstone in Hilo Hawaii indicates August 17, 1912 to February 28, 1944. The digital, image and sheet number where is that located?. Aloha John

  Aloha John,
  Your grandmother Mabel is one of many Poepoe relatives I’ve been trying to track. Here is what I found from records of the Mormon Church:
  Mabel Kahiolani Poepoe
  b. 27 Aug 1912
  d. 25 Feb 1944
  Parents: James Kahiki Poepoe and Ellen (aka Helen) Kaiona Makaiwi
  The link below contains a photo of Mabel’s headstone.
  
  http://www.ancientfaces.com/research/photo/413823/mabel-lovediro-family-photo
  
  FYI, and off the top of my head, here are some of the names of your (and my) ‘ohana who are buried In the cemetery at Keawalai Church:
  
  Mabel’s grandparents (my maternal great-great-grandparents) are John Solomon (also known as J. S.) Poepoe and Kaapuni (nee Poohina) Poepoe.
  
  James Kahiki Poepoe (Mabel’s father) is NOT buried at Keawalai (he’s buried at Waikapu Cemetery), but some of his siblings are.
  Caroline Kealohaaina (Poepoe) Palenapa
  Susie Makapo (Poepoe) Kauaulalena – my great-grandmother
  Tommy Poepoe
  Pine Poepoe
  George Poepoe
  Frank Poepoe
  
  Mabel’s brother Raleigh Kahiki Poepoe and his wife Alice are buried at Kanakaloloa Cemetery on Molokai.
  
  At least half if not more of the burials at Keawalai (formerly known as Makena Church) are related to us directly or through marriage. Our history and connection with that church go back to the late 1800’s when John Solomon served as kahu. Considering the number of Poepoe burials at Keawalai, I’m sure many of our ‘ohana worshiped there as well.
  
  I hope what I’ve shared so far is helpful. If you’re interested, I would be happy to share with you info that deals with your direct line (birth / marriage / death records, obits, photos, etc). Maybe together we can find more info on Mabel. Please don’t hesitate to contact me via email: w84wawa@gmail.com.

  Aloha John,
  
  My great grandfather is Tommy “Tommey” Poepoe. He is another of your grandmother’s siblings.
  Most of the Poepoe ‘ohana on Molokai descend from Raleigh.
  I’ve just started looking thru the Kekoolani Ali’i genealogy and saw Tutu John Solomon in there, as well as Tutu Kaapuni Poohina.
