I'm not into it myself, but my nephew researched the male part of my family. My father family emigrated from Germany. One of my relatives tried to kill Hitler. My mother came from the north of England but she took after her father who was Irish. She was embarrassed to talk much about growing up. Her family was very poor and she was ashamed of that. She told me a story once about one of her childhood friends telling a story about visiting a relative who had more money and more stuff. My mom answered, "Well, that's nothing. I have an aunt who has a golden hat." I asked her what the thought she meant. She thought she meant to tell the girl that her aunt was the queen. That pretty much sums up my mother's personality. I'm glad I take much more after my father.

Aloha calihawker,

I descend from the same family. I have this exact story in my Genealogy Book. I'd love to connect. I still reside here on Maui, in Lahaina! Let's figure out a time to connect and we can discover more of our family history together!

Aloha e Megan,

I’m also a descendent of the same family and would love to connect. I hope you and your family are doing ok as you all recover from the fires. Would be great to connect and learn more of our family history.

E mālama,
James
