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 the 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 Jam.es was a witness to his sister Emaline Kalohi's marriage in 1901 to a Kanohi and signed the license as Jam.es 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 the O'ahu Cemetery in Nu'uanu showed his name as James Kauakahi Kalama Kalohi. I would appreciate any kōkua from the 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. Kamai — We are planning a family reunion for all the 'ohana of Joseph Kanamu Kamai and Mary Kaihe, scheduled for Aug. 1622, 2007, on O'ahu. The children of Mary and Joseph Kamai are Charlie Sr., Joseph Sr., Ezekiel Sr., Moroni and Louie Kamai.
