Although our focus is on William Moku Kaho'onei's bloodline, Helen Kamaile also had keiki from Ah-Young Di-Er and Sung Whan Cho, who although don't carry the Kaho'onei koko, are listed in the registry because of how close these keiki were raised and grew up with the Kaho'onei keiki.

We don't have access to the original information that was utilized to create the 'Ohana Registry, some of whieh unfortunately is full of mistakes, if not by the researched information obtained, then by the author of the registry. īt is our kuleana to have a corrected and updated 'Ohana Registry.
