However, we're still looking for our relatives who are closely related to Ernest and Kapeka. Find us on Facebook "Ke Lei Hulu 0 Ka Ohana Renken" Group. For information, contact Jan K N DeRego at Kapiolani8@aol.com or Jojo Chaves at jchaves94@yahoo.com. EWALIKO/GRUBE - I am trying to loeaīe family members on my mother's side. Mom's name was Harriet Kaehukaiopuaena (Ewaliko) Grube, married Edward Miehael Grube Jr. and had five sisters (Eīhel, Aileen aka Bess, Lilinoe akaNoe, 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. 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 photograph 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 article 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 ehildren. Internet research points to him or his family having originally been from Maui, and that he was probably a WWI veteran. A Samson Paele (b. 5-3-1883, d. 6-25-1927) is listed as being buried at Punchbowl Cemetery. A WWI service record found online shows a Samson Paele that was born in Kaupō, Maui, and that he was 35 years old upon enlistment in the Hawai'i Nahonal Guard on 4-7-1918. This may or not be the same person I'm looking for. His address listed on the sendce record was listed as "Hamakuapoko, Maui." Any assistance in leading me to someone that may have a photograph of Officer Paele would be appreciated. (A photo in uniform would be ideal, but any other verifiable adult photo will suffice). Contact Ted Merrill, paakahili@yahoo.com. PIO/KEPIO - We are looking for descendants of Victoria Nakoaelua Pio (Kepio), bom about 1867 in Kaupō, Maui, and died May 15, 1928, in Kaupō, Maui. Her father is Kepio aka Kelii Pio aka Kaawalauole Pio and mother is Keoahu. She married 1) Hale Kunihi and 2) Kahaleauki. Her children were Kalahiki; Lusiana Helela Kunihi Pio born about 1890, died about 1902 in Honolulu, Hawai'i; and Nakoa, who married Henry Stuart. She is buried at St. Joseph Church cemetery in Kaupō, Maui, under the name Mrs. V. N. Kahaleauki. We are the descendants of Victoria's siblings: Kahaleuahi (k), Malaea (w), Kaukani (k), Ipoaloha (w), Kaleohano (k). Please contact Mo'i Peters at (808) 590-7186 or epeters95@yahoo.com. STEWARD - Aloha Steward Family, my Hawaiian name is William "Meaalani" Steward. My genealogy includes the following 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 granddaughters of Catherine, Paul and Christopher Steward "and a whole bunch more," according 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 from you. Let us know if aloha is still extended to a Hawaiian grandson, William Steward, wsteward52@yahoo.com.
