Hi, Thank you so much for replying back. I went over the information you gave me, and everything matches up except a couple things. This is what i had: Joseph Silva married Halekunihi Kekahuna and they had Loita Paka, Kae, Mele, Joseph Silva Jr., Kikau and Hannah Aiwohi. Loita Paka Silva is my line. She married 3 husbands: Kahaikapuna (children were: Emily, Kama Haalilio, Kalei, Tai, and Henry Haikapuna), John Haake (children were: Philip and Mary Mailekini) and Joseph S. Kuoha (children were: Sam Kapiioho, Hattie Moonohu, Miriam, John, Emma, Eliza, and Solomon). My line further descends from Hattie's. So, from what you have written and what we have in our family book, it is apparent that Mary Mailekina Haake married 1st William Nawai Sr. and 2nd Joseph Sylva. This would be the Joseph Edward Sylva you were talking about and he would be her mother's youngest brother? One thing I noticed in what you wrote that was different from what we have is the mother of Joseph E. Silva. You wrote that his father, Joe Silva, was married to an Emily Watson. As you can see from above, we have Joe Silva married to Halekunihi Kekahuna. So, either Joe Silva married more than once OR all of the kids we have for Halekunihi Kekahuna and Joe Silva are not placed under the correct parent. Which person are you descended? You can write me back on the discussion board or My email is christine4056@hotmail.com Thank you again for replying.
