The Hawaiian lineage of our family has deep roots at Hamakuapoko, Maui at Maliko Bay, as well as, in Nahiku, Hana, Lahaina, Pauwela, and Pa'ia, Maui. Prior to the 1946 tidal wave, the family gravesites were located at Maliko Bay but all the gravesite markings were washed away during that time.  Great-great-grandparents Ha'o & Mia, and great-granparents Keakua and Ka'aimoku (before 1890) were said to be buried there.  Family roots also trace back to Oahu, Moloka'i, and the Big Island of Hawaii  prior to the 1900s. The trail becomes obscured further past the 1800s. David Kekua was the son of "Keakua" and married Kailiino Kawahahee during the mid 1800s. Kailiino was previously married to "Kakaio" and had four children from that marriage, one of which was named "Emma/Emmaline". Their appears to be other documented marriages as well. David Kekua and Kailiino divorced in 1881 and David Kekua died November 10, 1882. The family was very actively involved with the Pa'ia Hawaiian Protestant Church.
