MO'OKU'AUHAU

Kekoolani Genealogy of Descendants of the Ruling Chiefs of Hawai'i

Notes


KANIUHI

This generation is not in SLK Peleioholani's version of the Ulu-Hema genealogy. His genealogy goes from Kukahou directly to Kanipahu.


(Chief of Hawaii Island) KANIPAHU

SLK Pelioholani says the father Kalahumoku who marries Kahilolaamea (Laamea) is Huanuiikalala'ila'i, not Kanipahu.

This is different than the following articles, which we dispute:
Ka Nonanona (Newspaper) OCT 25, 1842 Page 49 "Mookuauhau" - says Kalahumoku is from Kanipahu

All the generations from KANIPAHU to KALAPANA are confused among various genealogies. There is as much as a 3-generation discrepancy. We follow the tradition taught by SLK Peleioholani and graft in others where they do not conflict.  Peleiholani has more generations and has men who appear as brothers in some genealogies as grandfathers, fathers and sons (from his Robinson Family Genealogy).

CORRECT LINEAGE (from SLK PELEIOHOLANI):

(1) KANIPAHU
(2) KANALOA
(3) HUANUIAKALAILAI (Huanuimakanalenale)
(4) KALAHUMOKU
(5) ILIKIALAAMEA
(6) KALAPANA (Kalapana Kuioiomoa)

Ilikialamea is the true father of Kalapana according to the genalogist S.L.K. Peleioholani.

The identity of Kalapana's father is disputed:
FROM FORNANDER: "KANIPAHU"
FROM KA NONANONA NEWSPAPER / OCT 25, 1802: "KANALOA"
SLK PELEIOHOLANI: "ILIKIALAAMEA"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REGARDING THE WIFE: HUALANI
_______________________________________________________

The single public newspaper source for this family unit (a Ka Nonanona newspaper article) seems inaccurate. Only two children rightly belong to mother Hualani, if she and her children actually existed. The other children of Kanipahu have been reassigned to their correct mother.

In some records this Hualani is called a Ruling Chiefess of Molokai. There was a Hualani who was a Ruling Chiefess of Molokai (Ruling Queen). Her family ruled for 5 sucessive generations as the first known ruling family of  Molokai.  However, it is impossibe for the Hualani from that family to be Kanipahu's wife. She lived more than 200 years earlier. If there was a wife for Kanipahu named Hualani from Molokai, she could have been a chiefess who carried the name of her famous ancestor. But she is not the Ruling Queen (Ruling Chief, Ali'iaimoku).


After her, there is a gap in the record for several generations. We are unsure of the succession of chiefs until history resumes clearly with KAHUKUOHUA, then KALANIPEHU and finally KANE'ALAI, the Ruling Chiefess who marries King Keaweikekahialiiokamoku of Hawaii.


ALAIKAUAKOKO (KANAKOKO)

Also called Kanakoko in Solomon Peleioholani's "Chiefs of the Sactred Fire" (the poetical writing in his Genealogy found at the Bishop Museum, translated by Dawn Kekoolani, 2003).


KALAPANA (KALAPANA I, KALAPANA-A-KANIPAHU, KANALOA-A-ALAIKAUAKOKO)

David Malo gives a complicated story of Kalapana as a son of Kanipahu and Alaikuaukoko. Yet S.L.K. gives Kalapana as the father of Kaha'i a few generations later.  There could have been two Kalanapanas. There was another male name repeated in this same family sequence (Kalanihumoku, Kalanihuimoke). Having two distinct Kalapanas makes sense and preserves the two major stories of Kapalana. We include both these Kalapana figures and Kalapana I and Kalapana II.

Future genealogical research should seek to confirm, correct or clarify this Kalapana controversy.

HINAAKEUKI (HINEUKI)

The genealogist S.L.K. Pelioholani calls her Hinaakeuki.


KALAPANA (KALAPANA II, KALAPANA KUIOIOMOA, KALAPANAKUIOIOMOA)

The genealogist S.L.K. Peleioholani calls this person simply "Kalapana" rather than the longer version of his name which appears in other genelogies.

All the generations from KANIPAHU to KALAPANA are confused among the various genealogies of the Big Island. There is as much as a 3-generation discrepancy. We follow the particular tradition taught by SLK Peleioholani and then we attempt to graft in as many others where they do not conflict.

S.L.K. Peleiholani has more generations and has certain male relations who appear as brothers in other genealogies appearing in his as grandfathers, fathers and sons (from his Robinson Family Genealogy).

CORRECT LINEAGE (from SLK PELEIOHOLANI):

(1) KANIPAHU
(2) KANALOA
(3) HUANUIAKALAILAI
(4) KALAHUMOKU
(5) ILIKIALAAMEA
(6) KALAPANA (Kalapana Kuioiomoa)

Ilikialamea is the true father of Kalapana according to the genalogist S.L.K. Peleioholani.

The identity fo Kalapana's father is disputed:

ABOUT THE NAME KAHAI (KAHA'I)

The original chief named Kahai was a famous explorer who traveled to Kahiki very early in the history of the Hawaiian chiefs. He was a hero to the Hawaiian chiefs and many of them called their sons by his name. So there are many chiefs whose names begin with or contain the name "Kahai".

But there are five chiefs who are known primarily as just "Kahai", beginning with the original Kahai. I have numbered these Kahai chiefs in the correct order by the time period in which they lived, based on their generational distance from Wakea, ancestor of all the chiefs. The name "Kahai" is often expressed "Kahai-moelea", being similar in relation to "John" and "Jonathan", and would "Kahai-moelea" be interchangeable with "Kahai" for all 5 of these chiefs.

The chiefs named Kahai are:

(1) KAHAI (I) "Kahai-a-Hema" was the son of Hema (k.) and Hinamaikehoa (Ulamakehoa, Luamahekoa) w.). Original Kahai who traveled to Kahiki. He is 31 generations from Wakea.

(2) KAHAI (II) "Kahai-a-Ho'onali'i" was the son of Ho'okamali'i (k.) and Keahiula (w.). He is 34 generations from Wakea and not closely related to the original Kahai before him, being his 18th cousin. The people of his time would have known of the original Kahai in living memory. This Kahai is from Kauai and his grandfather Moikeha was also voyaging chief like the original Kahai. Moikeha would have lived at about the same time as the original Kahai as well.

(3) KAHAI (III) "Kahai-a-Mano" was one of the sons of Manokalanipo (Mo'i, Ruling Chief of Kauai). He is 52 generations from Wakea. He is not closely related to the previous Kahai II, being his 18th cousin, 19 times removed. He is more closely related to the original Kahai I, being from the same family lineage, being this original Kahai's 1st cousin, 19 times removed.

(4) KAHAI (IV) called "Kahaimoeleaikaaikupou" or "Kahaimoeleaikaaikapukupou" was the son of Kalapana (Kalapana Kuioiomoa) (k.) and Makeamakaimalanahae (Maemalamaihanai) (w.). He is 60 generations from Wakea. His relation to the previous Kahai III is very, very distant (22nd cousins, 8 times removed). However, he is a direct descendant of the original Kahai (Kahai-a-Hema), being his 27th great grandson.

(5) KAHAI (V) "Kahai-a-Keeaumoku", was the son of the original Keeaumoku Nui (Keeaumoku I) and the grandson of King Kekaulikeikekahialiiokamokamoku. He is 73 generations from Wakea. He is from the same family lineage as the original Kahai, being his 1st cousin, 33 times removed.

KAPO-A-KAULUHAILEA (KAPOAKAULUKAILAA, HUAILIKAPU)

"Kapo-a-Kauluhailea" is the name given by the genealogist S.L.K. Peleioholani. Called "Huailikapu" in Kumu Hawaii article (newspaper) published 1835.


(Mo'i, Ruler of Hawai'i) KALAUNUIOHUA (KALAUNUI-OHUA)

Grandson of Kalapana, of the Pilikaaiea line - S.L.K. Peleioholani


(Mo'i, Ruler of Hawaii) KUAIWA

Genealogist S.L.K. Peleioholani calls him Mo'i of Hawaii. Half brother of his wife Kamuleilani.

In the marriage to his other wife Kamanawa, we see by counitng generations that Kamawana would have been an older woman and Kuaiwa a very young adult male at the time their son Ehu was concieved. Kamawana would have been of Kuaiwa's grandmothers generation. However, considering the very young age of marriage and reproduction among the Hawaiian chiefs, it would be likely that Kamawana would still have been in her child bearing years when King Kuaiwa reached the age of reproduction (puberty/adolesence), making the pairing a workable proposition.

- D. Kekoolani (Jan 2010)


KAMUOLEILANI (KAMULEILANI, KAMUOLEILANI-O-KUNUIAKANAELE, KAINULEILANI)

Half sister of her husband Kuaiwa.
Kamuoleilani is the name given by the genealogist S.L.K. Peleioholani.
Kainuleilani is the name given by David Malo.


MANAUEA

"Niau pio" son because his father and mother are half-brother and half-sister.
