Researching Hawaiian lineage help?
Hi!
I am honestly don’t know what to call it but here it goes as I know it:
my grandmother and all her siblings were born on Oahu. The sisters all migrated mainland. There are brothers and cousins who are still living in Hawaii today. I have never met, or talked to them as they are my grandmother’s relatives and pretty far removed from us here in Florida.
My grandmother is very old and the only information I can get from her is: she was born near the dole plantation on Oahu. And her father’s name and mother’s maiden name.
Going back from there I learned that her father (my great grandfather) also lived on Oahu. He served in the war, then had a roofing business and is buried in Ewa. - His first wife (my great grandmother and the mother to my grandmother) was born on Maui and at some point married my great grandfather and moved to Oahu.
From here it gets a bit hard because this is now near 1900s and I can’t find anymore records.
On the paternal side I believe that my great great grandfather migrated from Puerto Rico to Hawaii, had my great grandfather and so on.
Whereas my research on my maternal side kind of ends at my great grandmother being born on Maui and then marrying and moving to Oahu to have my grandmother.
Is there anyway to go further back and find more information? What sites do I use?
Also, I’m not sure how this works or what we would be called but does this make my brother and I Hawaiian? Or is it called having Hawaiian ancestry? What’s the correct wording?
