MO'OKU'AUHAU

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

Notes


(Ali'i-o-Kona, Ruling Chief of Hawaii Island) ALAPAI (ALAPAI NUI, ALAPAINUI-A-KAUAUA)

King of Hawai'i Island by Conquest (Usurper).

Ancestor of:
Kekaaniau (Chiefess)
Laura M. Kekupuohikapulikoliko
Sam Parker
Mary Stillman
Kameeualani Kauanoe

From genealogist Solomon Lehuanui Kalaniomaiheilu Peleioholani (in Ancestry of John Liwai Ena):

Look at the children of Kaianikauleleiaiwi: (1) Child No. 1, Kekuiapoiwanui I (w); (2) Kekelaokekeaokalani (w); (3) Kalanikeeaumoku (k); (4) Alapainui (k), King of Hawaii, ancestor of L. M. Kekupuohikapulikoliko and many other offsprings; (5) Haae (k); (6) Keawepoepoe (k).

Kalanikauleleiaiwi (w) married again, to Kauauanuiamahiololi (k); born was Alapainui, King of Hawaii, ancestor of Kekaaniau, chiefess, L. M. Kekupuohikapulikoliko, Sam Parker and his sister Mary Stillman, and Kameeualani Kauanoe; and Haae, Alapai's younger brother, was also born of this union.


(Ruling Chief of Kauai) LONOIKAHAUPU (LONO-I-KA-HA'UPU, LONOIKAHAUPU-KAUOKALANI)

S.L.K. Pelioholani calls him "mo'i o Kauai", or King of Kauai. Soveriegnty of Kauai was controversial at this time, it finally devolved upon Lonoikahaupu.

Kalanikauleleiaiwi (w) married again, to Lonoikahaupu (k), King of Kauai; born was Keawepoepoe (k), chief of Hawaii, Maui, Oahu, and Kauai, and it is understood through this marriage of Kalanikauleleiaiwi to Lonoikahaupu (k), King of Kauai, Keawepoepoe received the prostrating kapu of Pihenakalani, and it was through this marriage that the chiefs of Hawaii received the prostrating tabu.

------------------------------------------------

FORNANDER:
"The children of Kealohikanakamaika and  Kaneiahaka were Kealohi-a-peekoa, Kealohikikaupea, Kauakahilau, sons, and Kapulauki, a daughter. The first son obtained a lordship of Waianae on Oahu, and became connected with the powerful Ewa chiefs. The second sought his fortune among the Koolau chiefs on Oahu, and seems to have been connected with the Kanekapu-a-Kakuhihewa family, for I find his name mentioned as a relative in the Kualii legends. The third son apparently remained on Kauai, and eventually married his niece Kuluina, arid became the father of Lonoikahaupu."

-----------------------------------------------
In her "Hawaiian Genealogies" collection, Mary Pukui discovered the following alternate genealogy for Lonoikahaupu (no gender given where not indicated):

(1) Koi-hala-hua to Kalani-laha-kiki had Ho'oka-poki'i
(2) Ho'oka-poki'i to Makua had Pilliani
(3) Piilani to Hinakohila has Lonokauakini
(4) Lonokauakini to Kapukaheiao had Lono-i-ka-ha'upu
(5) Lono-i-ka-ha'upu to Kalanakauleleiaiwi had Keawepoepoe

NOTES by Dean Kekoolani:

Regarding above #1:
The name Kalani-laha-kiki in this general area of the lineage supports the idea that the chiefess who is most frequently referred to as Ke-'alohi (Kealohikanakamaikai, Kealohi-kanaka-maikai) on the Kauai registers is also the Kahikikala,  Maui Chiefess.

Regarding above #2:
This PIiliani is not the same as the Ruler of Hawaii. This Piilani is 3 generations later and is "Piilani II".

We include this genealogy in our database, but do not connect Lonokauakini to Lono-i-ka-ha'upu. However, this genealogy deserves further investigation and analysis.

Another genealogy in the same Pukui collection:

Umi to Maka-akua
Nohoo-waa-a-Umi to Kaauliuli
Umi-hoomalu to Kohilani
Hina-kohilani to Kapuka-haiao
Lono-i-ka-ha'upu


KAUAKAHILAU (KA-UA-KAHI-LAU, LONO-KA-UA-KINI)

Lono-ka-ua-kini is the name form found by Mary Pukui.


KEAWEPOEPOE (KEAWE-POEPOE, KEAWEPOIPOI)

Kalanikauleleaiwi's youngest child.

Solomon Peleioholani calls Keawepoepoe a chief of Hawaii, Maui, Oahu and Kauai.

From "The Complete Ancestry of John Liwai Kalniopuuikapali-o-Molilele-ma-wai-o-Ahukini-Kau-Hawaii Ena":
Kalanikauleleiaiwi (w) married again, to Lonoikahaupu (k), King of Kauai; born was Keawepoepoe (k), chief of Hawaii, Maui, Oahu, and Kauai, and it is understood through this marriage of Kalanikauleleiaiwi to Lonoikahaupu (k), King of Kauai, Keawepoepoe received the prostrating kapu of Pihenakalani, and it was through this marriage that the chiefs of Hawaii received the prostrating tabu.

From genealogist Solomon Lehuanui Kalaniomaiheilu Peleioholani (in Ancestry of John Liwai Ena):
Look at the children of Kaianikauleleiaiwi: (1) Child No. 1, Kekuiapoiwanui I (w); (2) Kekelaokekeaokalani (w); (3) Kalanikeeaumoku (k); (4) Alapainui (k), King of Hawaii, ancestor of L. M. Kekupuohikapulikoliko and many other offsprings; (5) Haae (k); (6) Keawepoepoe (k).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keeaumoku the Great, the nominal grandfather of Kamehameha the Great, became High Priest of the Order of 'Io after Keawe-Uhi-I-Kealakea. After Keeaumoku, his younger half-brother, Keawepoepoe, became the HIgh Priest.

IWIKAUIKAUA (IWAKAUALI'I)

Great great grandfather of Queen Liliuokalani and King David Kalakaua.

Iwakauali'i is one form the name found by Mary Pukui ("Hawaiian Genealogies").


(Oahu Chiefess) KAUAKAHI-KUAANAAUA-A-KANE (KAUAKAHIKUAANAAKAMA)

Makakaualii Kauakahi Kua'ana'au-a-kane is another longer name for the highly sacred kapu chiefess of O'ahu.


(Ruling Queen of Hawaii') KEAKEALANI (KEAKEALANIWAHINE, KEAKEALANI-WAHINE)

NOTE: THERE ARE EXTENSIVE COMMENTS (BELOW) ON THIS PERSON
** YOU MAY GO TO DIRECTLY SPOUSE  AND CHILDREN BY SCROLLING PAST THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS **
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keakealaniwahine is the mother of Keaweikekahialliokamou. The husband who fathered her son King Keawe is disputed as follows:

FATHER#1: Kanaloa-i-Kaiwilena Kapulehu
FATHER#2: Keawehanauikawalu (Kanalohanauikawela)

The correct father is Keawehanauikawalu (Kanalohanauikawela), according to SLK Peleioholani, who was, in his lifetime, the leader (High Chief) of the senior lineage of Keawe through his great grandfather Keawemauhili, the son of Kalaninuiammamao.

Kanaloa-i-Kaiwilena Kapulehu may be a variation of the name  Keawehanauikawalu (Kanalohanauikawela), which would be understood, but if that is the case, it apparently devolved into a different identity over time.

RESOLVING DIFFERENCES IN  MULTIPLE VERSIONS OF KEAKEALANIWAHINE'S PEDIGREE

VERSION (1)
Ka Nupepa Kuokoa (Newspaper) SEPTEMBER 30, 1893
Ka Nonanona (Newspaper) OCTOBER 25, 1842
Author (s): Unknown
FATHER: Iwikauikaua (Son of Makakaualii & Kapukamola)
MOTHER: Keakamahana (Daughter of Keakealanikane & Keliiokalani)
ISSUE: Keakealani (Keakealaniwahine) (Ruling Queen of Hawaii')

VERSION (2)
The Robinson Family Genealogy (1908)
Author: S.L.K. Peleioholani
FATHER: Iwikauikaua (Son of Makakaualii & Kapukamola)
MOTHER: Keakamahana (Daughter of Makakaualii & Kapukamola) - different parents here
ISSUE: Keakealani (Keakealaniwahine) (Ruling Queen of Hawaii') - NINAUPIO

VERSION (3)
The Complete Ancestry of John Liwai Kalaniopuuikapali-o-MoliIele-ma-wai-o-Ahukini-Kau-Hawaii Ena (1903)
Author: S.L.K. Peleioholani
FATHER: Iwikauikaua (Son of Makakaualii & Kapukamola)
MOTHER: Kaihikapumahana (Daughter of King Lonokamakahiki & Kaikilanimaipanio)
ISSUE: Keakealani (Keakealaniwahine) (Ruling Queen of Hawaii')


WE HAVE FOUND THAT THE CORRECT VERSION IS VERSION #3
Iwikauikaua & Kaihikapumahana are the parents Keakealaniwahine (VERSION 3)

METHOD:
We would favor Peleioholani, Kamakau, Unauna or Malo whenever confronted with multiple choices. So that leaves VERSION 2 and VERSION 3. The Complete Ancestry of John Liwai Ena is the stronger work by Peleioholani of the two we have to choose from. It represents a major genealogical achievement, comprising the final section of VOLUME 2 of HAWAIIAN GENEALOGIES (Edited by Edith McKInzie). Further, like some of the later works of SLK Peleioholani, there seems to have been tampering and adjustments to the registers, in this case by the editor J.M. Poepoe (his friend and a major translator for Peleioholani).

VERSION 3 represents S.L.K. Peleioholani at the height of his powers as a genealogist. There can be no doubt that he is giving us the correct, though not common genealogy for Keakealaniwahine, as he does for her son Keaweikekahialliokamou (see the notes in his record about the corrected version of his father).

VERSION 3 also helps us to understand the refrence to a "niau pio" marriage in this passage late in "The Complete Ancestry of John Liwai Kalaniopuuikapali-o-MoliIele-ma-wai-o-Ahukini-Kau-Hawaii Ena":

Kaihikapumahana (w) married Iwikauikaua (k), high chief of Hawaii and was born Keakealani (w)/ Second Queen of Hawaii.  Kanaloahanauikawela (k), son of Lonoikamakahiki and Kaikilanimaipanio married niaupi'o to Keakealani (w), and born was Keaweikekahialiiokamoku (k).

FATHER: Kanaloahanauikawela (Son of King Lonokamakahiki & Kaikilanimaipanio)
MOTHER: Keakealani (Grandaughter of King Lonokamakahiki & Kaikilanimaipanio though her mother)
ISSUE:  Keaweikekahialiiokamoku

Keakealani marries her uncle Kanaloahanauikawela, the brother of her mother. This is the "niau pio" aspect of the marriage referred to in the excerpt above.

IWIKAUIKAUA (IWAKAUALI'I)

Great great grandfather of Queen Liliuokalani and King David Kalakaua.

Iwakauali'i is one form the name found by Mary Pukui ("Hawaiian Genealogies").


KAIHIKAPUMAHANA (KA-IHI-KAPU-MAHANA, KAIHIKAPU)

She is called Kaihikapu by Forander.


IWIKAUIKAUA (IWAKAUALI'I)

Great great grandfather of Queen Liliuokalani and King David Kalakaua.

Iwakauali'i is one form the name found by Mary Pukui ("Hawaiian Genealogies").


KEAKAMAHANA

Keakamahana (Kaihikapumahana) is generally believed to be the daughter of Keakealanikane (King of Hawaii) and his sister Kealiiokalani.

However, in the Robinson Family Genealogy there appears to be a few odd entries to the register, among them is the assignment of Kapumola and Kamakaualli (Makakaualii) as the mother and father of Keakamahana. I believe this is due to reworking of the registers by others, including J.M. Poepoe (editor), while the manuscript was being prepared for publication.

I have removed this anamolous entry in this database, but left this note to show it was seen and transcribed by myself and others. This database shows the parents of Keakamahana as Keakealanikane and Kealiiokalani (Keali'i-o-kalani) as traditionally taught.

While the Robinson Family Genealogy remains a realiable and important reference, there are a couple of anomalies, such as the identity of Keakamaha's parents just described. Wherever possible, I have noted these problems originating in the Robison Family in this database or removed the problematic information completely when I felt it truly was not the original thought or intent of my great-grandfather S.L.K. Peleioholani and could cause more confusion tham the inclusion would merit.

KANALOHANAUIKAWELA (KEAWEHANAUIKAWALU)

NOTE: THERE ARE EXTENSIVE COMMENTS (BELOW) ON THIS PERSON
** YOU MAY GO TO DIRECTLY SPOUSE  AND CHILDREN BY SCROLLING PAST THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS **
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Called Kanalohanauikawela by SLK Peleioholani
Name is Keawehanauikawalu in Forander
Kanalaokapulehu is the name given for the father of Keawe in Kumu Hawaii newspaper 1835 an Ka Nonanona 1842.

There is confusion in many genealogies of Keaweikekahialiiokamoku (King of Hawaii Island) due to the fact that his father is sometimes called Kanaloa-i-Kaiwilena Kapulehu, which is indeed similar to the name given by SLK Peleioholani. It may also be another valid name for this chief, since high ranking chiefs often had several similar names, which were employed selectively according to ceremonial protocols and the rituals surrounding official occasions.

However, the name "Kanaloa-i-Kaiwilena Kapulehu" is also very similar to that of another chief living at the time named "Kanaloakapulehu". Hence many genealogies understandably give the wrong father for King Keawe.

The fact that these two names are almost identical would not be unusual in and of itself, since we often see clusters of name reccurence all over Hawaiian genealogy. In a man's case, the name is given in honor of an uncle, father or other notable relation. This was also true of names given to a chiefess. The recurrence of a single name, not once or twice, but several times within only 2 or 3 generations is normal among the chiefs (EXAMPLES: Keeaumoku, Keawe and variations on Keawe, Ululani, Kapulani, Kapukini, Kaikilani, Kamehameha).

In this case, Kanaloa-i-Kaiwilena Kapulehu was the nephew Kanaloakapulehu. Kanaloa-i-Kaiwilena Kapulehu's father Lonokamakahiki was a half brother Kanaloakapulehu (they shared the same father Keawe-a-Umi).

CHAPTER II - Hoeamanoa's Genealogy

FEMALE LINE - Kawaihalau
MALE LINE - Keawe-Nui-a-Umi
ISSUE: Kanaloakuaana, Kanaloakapulehu, Kanaloakuakawaiea **

** Note by Dean Kekoolani:  all 3 of these brothers went on to marry and have a child with Kaikilaninuialiiwahineopuna. All her children came from these 3 brothers. She had no issue with her co-regent husband Lonokamakahiki.

Kaikilani [Kaikilanialiiwahineopuna] (w) remarried, to Lonoikamakahikikapuakeawe (k), no issue; they were married for 9 years until

These brothers wold have been famous in their time. One understands how Lonokamakahiki would have named his son after one his wife's secondary husbands, who was also related by blood. Also, remember that Lonokamakahiki's own secondary wife Kaikilanimaipanio was most likely herself named after his primary wife Kaikilaninuialiiwahineopuna.

------------------------

Ka Makaainana (newspaper) NOV 9, 1896 gives Kalanohanauikawela the alternate name "Keawehanauikawalu". The article is about the descendants of his sister Kaihikapumahana.

---------------------------
Keakealaniwahine is the mother of Keaweikekahialliokamou. The father of Keawe is disputed as follows:

FATHER#1: Kanaloa-i-Kaiwilena Kapulehu
FATHER#2: Keawehanauikawalu (Kanalohanauikawela)

The correct father is Keawehanauikawalu (Kanalohanauikawela), according to SLK Peleioholani, who was, in his lifetime, the leader (High Chief) of the senior lineage of Keawe through his great grandfather Keawemauhili, the son of Kalaninuiammamao.

Kanaloa-i-Kaiwilena Kapulehu may be a variation of the name  Keawehanauikawalu (Kanalohanauikawela), which would be understood, but if that is the case, it apparently devolved into a different identity over time.

AKIHIAKAME'ENOA (AKIHI-A-KA-ME'E-NOA)

From Solomon Peleioholani:
Genealogy of Kaikilanimaipanio (w). Akahiilikapu (w) married Kahakumakalina (k); born were Kawaihalaniwailuau** and Keliiohiohi (k) for whom the prostrating kapu of Pihenaakalani for these chiefs this chiefly kapus of Pihenaakalani.
(*She is also called Koihalawai in many other genealogies.)


(Mo'i Hawai'i Island) LONOKAMAKAHIKI (LONOKAMAKAHIKI I, LONOIKAMAKAHIKIKAPUAKEAWE)

Solomon Peleioholani gives his full name as "Lonoikamakahikikapuakeawe" (Lono-i-kama-kahiki-kapu-a-keawe):

"Kaikilani (w) remarried, to Lonoikamakahikikapuakeawe (k), no issue; they were married for 9 years until Kaikilanialiiwahineopuna died in Honokawailani, Waiakea, Hilo, Hawai" (SLK Peleioholani)

"King Lonoikamakahikikapuakeawe (k) married the chiefess of Pakaalana, Kaikilanimaipanio, and was born Kanaloahanauikawela (k)."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* He is the grandfather of Keaweikekahialiiomoku (King of Hawaii). However, this genealogical connection is sometimes lost in other certain genealogies.

* He had no children with Kaikilanialiiwahine-o-Puna, his co-regent Ruling Queen of Hawai'i island.

*He married another "Kaikilani" named Kaikilanimaipanio, who was a chiefess of Pakaalana.
