I apologize. If you are still out there, I haven't visited the site for some time, in fact I had to renew my ezboard membership.

This is what I have information on without many dates.

My great-great-grandmother was Mele Holokahiki. She was married to Imaikalani, no date, no first name or reason as to what happened to him. My great-great-great grandfather met Joseph Lovell (1806-1886), from Hingham MA on the docks in Lahina, Maui; liked him and introduced him to his daughter Mele. Their children were Loika, John, Daniel, William and Kini. My great grandmother was Loika, who married Daniel Imaikalani. I don't know what happened to him either, although there is speculation that he was killed on Kauai where the family lived. Loika and Daniel had Joseph Imaikalani, my grandfather, Daniel Imaikalani, Julia Nani I Lovell, Mary I Lovell and Ruth Hoomalu I Lovell. The 3 with the Lovell last name may have been children from other than Daniel.

My grandfather Joseph married Maria Emilia Haleakal Kuanaio Lota from Hanalei, Kauai. They had David, Emily, Henry and Gabriel. The story of the change in the name was recited in the first e-mail. My father, Henry left Nawiliwili in 1921 on a merchant ship and didn't return to Hawai`i until 1961; he settled in Tacoma, Wa in the 1940's and married my mother, Jetta Gae Heidt from Idaho. There were 4 of us in the family myself, Nani, Joe and Momi.

Your grandmother may have information on the Imaikalani's and very well could have been from Moloka`i.

Mahalo for responding and for the information. Leilani
