Welcome to the Kekoolani genealogy project. This site documents the lineage of the Kekoolani family of Hawaii, tracing ancestry across the Hawaiian islands including the Hamakua coast on the Big Island and the Kauai branches of the Keawepoepoe and Kalanikauleleiaiwi lines.
The Kekoolani name is an ancient Hawaiian family name meaning "heavenly ascent." The family history spans generations of ali'i (chiefly) and maka'āinana (common people) lineages documented through oral tradition and written genealogical records compiled by family historians.
This genealogy database covers over 9,000 family members across multiple lineages including the Kanakaole line, the Hamakua coast branch, and the royal Keawe lineage connection traced in Charts 8001–8003.
