It is my project to regather China's imperial family for a return to its Chinese cultural heritage and to mainland China and for official recognition.

Box 4604, Honolulu 96812 or http://lchow.webvis.net/projects.htlm.

Chow Honolulu We need to find our 'ohana here and throughout the islands. My grandfather was a school master on Maui. My grandma was from Maui also. We are trying to locate John Tefillio Grace and wife Maria, or Mary Keli'ikoa Kuaimoku, of Honokua or South Kona 'Opihihale where most of the Grace 'ohana is today. I need to reach all of my 'ohana so we ean plan a reunion in a eouple of years. Please contact great-grandson three times here in Kailua-Kona. Please contact unele at 808-*82-334-9591. Al Grace Kailua-Kona I am the great-grandson of Leonard Arthur Purdy. This past May, I made my first trip to Honolulu where I had a great visit. The beauty of the island, the graciousness of the people made my trip memorable. I wiīl be back in October. I am trying to locate information on some of my ancestors. I did some family tree research during my visit. I knew that my great-grandfather (Leonard Arthur Purdy) was born in Hawai'i on June 8, 1892. To my surprise, I found out that he had a brother named Charles Henry Purdy Jr., born Apiil 6, 1894, and a sister named Mary E. Purdy, bom Feb. 4, 1896. The parents of the three children, Charles Henry Purdy Sr., bom June 14, 1857, and Mary Ferera, born May 4, 1874, were from Nova Scotia and San Miguel,

Azores, respectively. I am looking for anyone who would have information on Charles Henry Jr. and Mary Purdy. Due to time constraints on my last trip, I wasn't able to research the two siblings of my great grandfather. If anyone has information, please email me at MIKEL65@excite.com. I appreciate any and all assistance that anyone ean offer. Miehael C. Hill via the internet
