Kalohi, When he died in January 1929, his sister Emaline verified his death certificate as Jam.es Kauakahi Kalohi Kalama, However, his obituary and his burial records at the O'ahu Cemetery in Nu'uanu showed his name as James Kauakahi Kalama Kalohi, I would appreciate any kōkua from the Ho'ohui 'Ohana readers who ean set me straight on my dilemma, Contact me, Danny Kalama, by email at drkalama@com.cast, net or by phone at 801-825-5436, Kauli'a/Kapinao — The descendants of vSam Kauli'a and Kaiahua Kapinao (aka Mary Pinao) of Ka'ū, Hawai'i, recently had its quarterly reunion meeting in Kona on Oct, 6, One of our main goals is to have a large reunion sometime during summer 2009 in or near to Ka'ū (exact dates and location still pending), The children of Sam and Kaiahua include sons: I (married Lepeka Keku'ia also of Ka'ū), Puni (married Lepeka Kekuia after the passing of his brother, I) and Sam V, (married S, Mahelona of Ka'ū).
