Mom's name was Harriet Kaehukaiopuaena (Ewaliko) Grube, married Edward Miehael Grube Jr. and had five sisters (Ethel, Aileen aka Bess, Lilinoe aka Noe, Kuualoha aka Peaehie and Kaui) and five brothers (William Jr., Otto aka Eddie, Valentine, Herbert, and David aka Boots aka Sonny Boy). Mom's father was William Lonomakua Ewaliko Sr., husband of Elizabeth Kekumano and was born in Hilo, Hawai'i. I believe that his father and mother were John Ewaliko and Kaanaana

Ewaliko and siblings David, George, Kalei (w), Emily and James Ewaliko. They lived on Amaulu Road in Hilo. I believe that George married Lizzie, and had four daughters (Ruth, Virginia, Mary and Elizabeth), a son and grandson named John and moved to Anahola, Kaua'i. Kalei married Rufus Lyman, had three children (Rebecca, Francis and Clarence) as of 1930 and stayed in Hilo. David married Julia and had two daughters (Margaret and Marjory) and lived in Hilo. We met a Marjory at our mom's funeral in 2001. Any information is appreciated. Contact Ede Fukumoto at eafukumoto@hotmail.com. KAHALEANU - Doing family genealogy research. Please kōkua if you have any infor~ mation on Kahula Kahaleanu, the mother of my grandmother, Elizabeth Keaukai Akana. Bob Horcajo, bob@livemaui.com. KIU/AHEONG/KAHIAMOE Descendants of Baker Kahiamoe Akiu, bom May 10, 1886, and Sarah Kamali Aheong Akiu, bom Feb. 27, 1896, are planning a fam~ ily reunion July 20-22, 2012, on Maui. We are trying to locate any grandchildren, great~ grandchildren and great~great~grandchildren who are interested in attending the reunion. Please contact Marian "Blossom" Akiu Dias at (808) 242-0061. PAELE - I am trying to find a photograph of Samson K. Paele for a historical project at the Wahiawā, O 'ahu, poliee station. Paele was an HPD officer who was killed in 1927 in Wahiawā. The goal is to show his photo~ graph on a memorial board of Wahiawā~area officers that were killed in the line of duty. He is listed in HPD records as being bom 5-3-1881 and died 6-24-1927. A newspaper arti~ ele says he lived in Wahiawā and was married, but I do not know his wife's name, nor do I know if he had any children. Intemet research points to him or his family having original~ ly been ffom Maui, and that he was proba~ bly a WWI veteran. A Samson Paele (b. 5-3-1883, d. 6-25-1927) is listed as being bur~ ied at Punehhowl Cemetery. A WWI service record found online shows a Samson Paele that was bom in Kaupō, Maui, and that he was 35 years old upon enlistment in the Hawai'i National Guard on 4-7-1918. This may or not be the same person I'm looking for. His address listed on the service record was listed as "Hamakuapoko, Maui." Any assistance in leading me to someone that may have a photograph of Officer Paele would be appreciat~ ed. (A photo in uniform would be ideal, but any other verifiable adult photo will suffice). Contact Ted Merrill, paakahili@yahoo.com. STEWARD - Aloha Steward Family, my Hawaiian name is William "Meaalani" Steward. My genealogy includes the fol~ lowing lines: Epiakuna, Kauwaikanahele, Meaalani, Waiwaiole and Steward. I'm looking for the descendants of the extended Mary "Meaalani" and James Steward family. Today, they would be the grandsons and grand~ daughters of Catherine, Paul and Christopher Steward "and a whole huneh more," accord~ ing to my father. It has been a long time since he was in Hawai'i; 1941 was the last time he was there. So, to all the sons and daughters of the Mary and James Steward family, aloha, and please let us hear ffom you. Let us know if aloha is still extended to a Hawaiian grand~ son, William Steward, wsteward52@yahoo. eom. ■
