Kalohi — I am seeking all available genealogy information for the Kalohi 'ohana who lived in Hāna/Honolua, Maui, between 1850 and 1899 or earlier. My great-grandfa-ther, James Kauakahi Kalohi Kalama (18801929), applied for his marriage license in July 1899 so he could marry my greatgrandmother, Mary Ann Kahalewai Searle (1876-1952), who was from Ihe Honolua Ranch. Original marriage records in the Honolulu Archives showed his last name to be Kalohi (James Kauakahi Kalama Kalohi). Somehow, somewhere, his middle and last names were altered. He went by Kalama after his marriage because their son and my grandfather, Richard Kauakahi Kalohi Kalama (1900-1954), used Kalama.All of his children had that last name, including my mother, Stella Ululani (Kalama) Loughmiller. The Hawai'i census showed grandfather James and the Kalohi 'ohana lived next door to the Kawananahopu Kalama 'ohana in Hāna. Further more, my grandfather James was a witness to his sister Emaline Kalohi's marriage in 1901 to a Kanohi and signed the license as James K. Kalohi. When he died in January 1929, his sister Emaline verified his death certificate as James Kauakahi Kalohi Kalama. However, his obituary and his burial

records at Ihe O'ahu Cemetery in Nu'uanu showed his name as James Kauakahi Kalama Kalohi. I would appreciate any kōkua from Ihe Ho'ohui 'Ohana readers who ean set me straight on my dilemma. Contact me, Danny Kalama, by email at drkalama@comcast. net or eall me at 801-825-5436. Karratti/Blake — Bonaparte Ulukou Karratti and Kealoha Blake will hold a reunion July 11-17, 2007, on Kaua'i.

The descendants of Sam Kauli'a and Mary Kaiahua Kapinao (a.k.a. Pinao), mid-1800s Ka'ū residents, will be having monthly gatherings on O'ahu that may lead to a larger family reunion in 2008. However, the dates, time and locations of those meetings have yet to be determined. Both Tūtū Sam and Tūtū Kaiahua may have had muhiple marriages, but we're trying to organize the descendants from this union first. As far as we know, there were an estimated 10 children. Of the ten, we presently only have records for six (three sons and three daughters). Their names were: I, Puni, Sam, Mary, Abigail and Pukai. I (a.k.a. John) was married to Lepeka Keku'ia (as was Puni after his brother I passed away). Sam Jr. was married to Mahelona; Mary was married to a McComber; Abigail married Ka'auwai (from Kaua'i); and Pukai married Delos Santos.
