Haunani Kaanaana

She gives a really nice summary of the way our Kupuna dealt with the invading American culture and talks about it’s affect on her as a Kanaka Maoli.

    The name Kaanaana name is in my genealogy. One of my grandmother’s (my great-great-great grandmother actually), whose name was Kawaiala Kaanaana. Do you have knowledge of her? Most likely from North Kohala

      Kawaiala Kaanaana married John Bell. Together they had John Parker Bell who married Julia Kahahana Uwaia. John Parker and Julia had 8 children before Julia died from complications of child birth. Their names were: Hiram Kanehakamoa, John Kauhiokalani, 2 unnamed twin boys, then twin girls: Rosie Puluelo an Annie Kahahana, and finally, Julia Kaaoaolahilahiokeohokalole and a twin (not certain if boy or girl) who died at birth. The last child, Julia, married Robert Naea Stevens Sr. and they had 6 children: Vernal Naea, Robert Kihaapiilani, Harriet Daisy Kawaiala Kaoionapuaopiilani, Albert Lincoln Kealoha(lani), and Lillian Piilani. Lillian is my mother.

      I just learned that John Parker Bell later married Rebecca Simeona after his 1st wife, Julia, died. I do not know anything about Rebecca or any posterity that may or may not have followed.

      Now, if you don’t mind, how do you connect to Kawaiala Kaanaana. Would you (rednalu) share your pedigree chart or family group sheet information? You can find me on FB (Nora Kualii), or nkualii@yahoo.com

      Aloha Georgette,
      This post is from quite a few years ago. Please feel free to email me back. I have Melvin Kaanaana and Leimamo in my genealogy tree. Melvin is my direct descendant through his mother Josephine Kealohalulehua Keaunui.

        Aloha,
        Yes Thank You So Much For Responding I Heard We Loss Leimamo I’m Sorry To Hear This. My Mother Who Passed From Cancer In 2011 Would Have Been Leimamos First Born Child That Was Put Up For Adoption In 1949. The Research I’ve Found William C Takamoto Would Have Been The Father?

        Not familiar with those names. I couldn’t find anyone before Nalei Kaanaana

        Aloha,
        Yes My Mother Would Have Been Leimamo’s First born child she was put up for adoption in 1949 From the research I’ve done Willi C Takamoto Would have been the father. I heard unfortunately we lost Leimamo in 2017 I’m so sad to hear this.
