I am trying to find information on Kaikilanialiiwahineopuna. She is my g-g-grandmother. She married John Ena Esq before 1840. They lived in Hilo, Hawaii and had three children that I know of John Liwai Ena, Laura Amoy Kekuakapuokekuaokalani Ena (Coney) 1845-1929, and ULULANI A A Ena (HAALELEA) 1842-1904. My wife and I are going to be in Hawaii next month for our anniversary and would like to pay our respects if we can.
Thanks,
David Seward
So many have loved this particular poem. I wanted to share it with any who haven't seen it yet.
MY ANCESTOR GRAND MOTHER
I search for you yet do not even know your name
I press on praying my efforts will prove fruitful
the records do not list you or the other women who
have lived and loved and laughed, gave birth, and died,
the records perpetrate the myth that you were never here
but I stand whole and bare my soul
and vow to find you as I live
I search for you in old records, in churches, at
