KEKA/KAHAPEA/AKAU/ WAIALEALE I am researching and trying to connect with the descendants of my great-great grandmother Christina (Kilikina) Kaanapu Keka (b:1865) from Kona, Big Island. Based on various genealogy facts, Kilikina was married several times: lst m: Akiona Chang and had a daughter, Sarah Chang (b: 1 885), who was given to Kilikina's brother William Keka to raise. William was a cowboy on Frank Greenwell's ranch and changed Sarah's name to Koleta Kamaka. Koleta married Levi Kepoo Pi and had one son, George Kepoo Pi (b: 1916). When Levi died, Koleta married Joseph Kahapea and changed George Kepoo Pi's name to George Kahapea; Koleta had a son from Joseph, Daniel Kahapea; 2nd m: Adao Tom and had a son, Joseph Akau (b: 1896), who married Elizabeth Holualoa and had 10 children. My grandmother Sarah Kilikina Akau (b:1917) is one of the 10 children. Grandma conveyed many 'ohana genealogy facts to my mom, Puanani, who told me that Grandma shared about her visits with Aunty Paahana, who was Tutudaddy's (Joseph .Akau) first cousin. iAonie Paahana Waialeale (b: 1905) was one of 15 children born to Katherine Keka (b:1867) and Henry Waialeale; 3rd m: Samuel Nohoanu; 4th m: George Nuuanu; Kilikina lived with a Mahikoa before she died in 1925.
