KAOLANIALII (KA-'OLANI-ALII)

(Moi, Ruler of Maui) KALANIKAUMAKA-O-WAKEA (KALANIKAUMAKAOWAKEA I)

From genealogist Solomon Lehuanui Kalaniomaiheilu Peleioholani (in Ancestry of John Liwai Ena):
Look at Keakahiwaakama (w) who married Kuhinahinau (k), konohiki chief of Kawaihae, Hawaii.
Born was Kekaikuihala (w) who married Kalanikaumakaowakea (k), King of Maui.
Born was Kamaikahuakai (k), the chief of east Maui.
Born was Nakaiokeakakaiuli (k), the chief of east Maui.
These two chiefs, the chiefly ancestors seen above, they were responsible for hiding Keliimaikai, namely Kalanimalokuloku, the younger brother of Kamehameha (the governor) of Kamehameha who ruled east Maui and fled in battle and barely escaped.

Look at Keleanohoanaapiapi (w), the own sister of Kawao Kaohele (k), the chiefly king surrounding Maui until Piilani (k).

2. Keleanohoanaapiapi (w), Queen of Maui.

Kalanikaumaka-o-Wakea is the form of the name used by S.M. Kamakau.


KAPULEHUAIHELE (KUPELEHUWAIHELE, KAPOLEHU, KAPULEHU-NAIHELE)

"Kupelehuwaihele" is the name given in the Hawaii Board of Genealogy Records manuscript.  The HAwaii board of Genealogy also gives parents that do not appear in other accoiunts. So we have two sets of parents in our database. We cannot determine at thsi date which is the correct biological parent, and who might be perhaps the hanai parents.

(Molokai Chief) KUMUKO'A (KUMUKOA II) (KUMUHEA)

Solomon Peleioholani says:

Keaweikekahialiiokamoku (k)/ King of Hawaii/ married Hoakalani (w); born were five children. Kumukoa (k) was one of the children. Kumukoa (k) married Kahawalu (w), mother of Kauhiaimokuakama (k); born was Kaikilani III (w).

From genealogist Solomon Lehuanui Kalaniomaiheilu Peleioholani (in Ancestry of John Liwai Ena):
Look at the chiefly children of Keawe (k), King of Hawaii: (1) Children Kalaninuiiamamao (k), Kekohimoku (w), Keakakauhiwaamoku (k), five children of Molokai, including Kumukoa.

Forander says the father was King Keawe (Keaweikekahialiiokamoku) and the mother was the wife "Kanaalae". But his mother was known by two names, both for the same woman: Kane-a-La'e (Kane'alai, Kane-alae) or (Ha'okalani) Ha-o-kalani. She was a Ruling Chiefess of Molokai, one of the last independent rulers of Molokai.

In the ROBINSON FAMILY genealogy, SLK Peleioholani says that KAHAWALU is the daughter of Kahekili II and Kealohikikaupea. When KAHAWALU marries KEKAULIKE she is therefore marrying her grandfather.


KAUHIAIMOKU-A-KAMA (KAUHIAIMOKU-A-KAMA I, KEKAUHIWAMOKU,KAUHIAKAMA II, KEKAUHIWAMOKU, HEKAU-A-HIWAMO
