Almost all Kinney’s are related and even people with variations of the name are related albeit distantly. There is a slew of genealogy information for Kinney and when I have more time I’ll be sure to share with you. Aloha!
I’m not a Kinney, but Mr. (Robbins) Kinney hired me to landscape his property on Kaumana Dr. in, I guess, 1974. I was newly arrived in Hilo with a wife and infant son and was desperate for work. Mr. Kinney had gone to the mainland to get married and in his absence the yard had become over grown. It took me months to straighten it up but I enjoyed the experience because Mr. Kinney was one of the nicest people I have ever known. He had a great sense of humor and treated me and my family with great kindness. I met his brother ( I think it was David) and sister and they were also very welcoming, warm people. We moved back to the mainland after a year or so because my wife was quite homesick. I think about Mr. Kinney from time to time (which is why I Googled his name today) and wanted to say that knowing him is my fondest memory of the Big Island…Aloha
Mahalo for sharing such a warm story! Warm and Wonderful Holidays to your and your ohana! Aloha!
ALOHA…my name is Martha-Mae Leinaala Fordyce. My mother was Mary Frances Kaiwiho’opilipili Kinney (born Nov 8,1913 in Hana, Maui; died June 1973 in Wahiawa, Oahu); my grandfather was Kihapiilani William Kinney. I am very interested in finding family and info to pass on to my nieces and nephews.
Thank you for all your efforts!!!
Aloha Marty, are you on Facebook? We have a group for the Kinney Ohana. There’s a few in the group that know quite a bit about our genealogy. https://www.facebook.com/groups/200235659995354/ please request to join we’d love to have you! Happy Holidays!
actually I just noticed you do have a Facebook page so I just sent you a friend request 🙂
Aloha ..I have forwarded your email to Richard Souther in HOnolulu ..you may already know him as he is doing extensive research on the Kinney famlies .
My name is Regina Kinney, married to Raeder William Paakaua Kinney. His father is Clarence P. Kinney, son to William A. Kinney. We couldn’t make it to the reunion with regret. Is there a booklet of the Kinney geneology? Our family tree….Clarence P. Kinney married to Florence K. Yim, had 3 children. Orpha, Raeder and Oliver
There were books available at the reunion. I will check with Aunty Orpha and see if there are anymore ~
My husband’s family, after a probate, found that they were related to a Minnie Kinney. We have no information whatsoever to offer but have the utmost, humble desire, to find more info on any of our family members. His mother, Isabelle Kahue, never mentioned her family members, so nothing was every recorded. If we are related, we would love to know…it is our resonsibility, to know, to pass on. Was Minnie or her family members every in the Kipahulu area on Maui? That is most of the info I have.
Minnie Kinney is sister to William Ansel Kinney, the attorney who helped to overthrow the lawful Hawaiian government, Queen Liliuokalani. Minnie and William Ansel are 1/2 siblings to Kihapiilani William Kinney my great grandfather.

My name is Eloise Kanani Ah Yet/Slaton, daughter of Joseph Kihapiilani Kinney/Ah Yet, son of Frances Kaiwho’opilipili Kinney/Fordyce. I saw this message because I was searching for information on my father. I have attached pictures of my dad and wondered if he is in this book of the Kinney’s. My father was raised by the Revernd Herbert and Annie Brewster. Please explain who the people in the pictures are. I have longed to know any information on my daddy. Marty is my father’s sister and made no mention of my dad. I will get in touch with her. I will appreciate anything you can tell me.
Mahalo,

Hi Yo!
Hi my Dear and Sweet Brother 🙂 Love You!
Aloha,
I am the great grandson of Joseph Kailimai Kinney(b.1888). I too, like so many others are trying to find connections and histories. My grandmother spoke of a “Kinney Family Book”, which she had a copy and loaned to another to which it was never returned. Has this booked been digitized? Does anyone have a copy? I hope there will be another reunion in the future. I have fond memories traveling with my grandmother (Emily Pilialoha Kinney) to Hilo to visit her aunt. Thanks for any information you can share. I have joined the facebook group as well.
Mahalo,
John M. (Cali)
Aloha, although I am just down the street I am starving fir information about my grandfather Bernard Kinney. If this gets to anybody , please help!many Mahalos
Hello, I am looking at or for information with the Kinney family on my mothers side. I see a few of cousins are asking questions here as well. Though it is years later. I have submitted request to join the Facebook page.
Aloha! My name is Kehaulani Kinney. My father is Elwood Kihakane Kinney, and his father was Roland Kiaaina Kinney. My grandfather’s (Roland) father was David Kiaaina Kinney (great-grandfather), and David’s father was Kihapi’ilani William Kinney (great-great-grandfather).
I understand that this reunion announcement is 10 years old. So, hopefully….my comment will still be sent to someone on the reunion committee.
I am looking for information about my Kinney side of the family. Since my father (Elwood), grandfather (Roland), and grandmother (Irene) have all passed…I have very few family members to turn to when it comes to information. Also, if another family reunion is being planned I would love to attend! I hope to hear from you soon.
Mahalo!
