Hawaiian Genealogy Society began in 1996. Meetings occur informally. Most of the members are Kamehameha descendants, Royal family members or heirs of Sovereigns of Hawaii.
This Society is affiliated with the Kingdom of Hawaii, maintains genealogy documentation of the Royal families genealogies, history, etc. We are one of the 13 repatriated groups, granted recognition for ancestral burials including the kaai- burial basketry which holds remains of alii nui/high chiefs of Hawaii, our ancient 1,650+ year old society based on genealogies. Representative, Amelia Kuulei Gora is descendant of Kalaniopuu (Alii Nui during the time of Captain James Cook), Kamehameha thru daughter Kanekapolei, through son Kaoleioku, Nuuanu, John Young, Isaac Davis, Akahi (w), Mataio Kekuanaoa, John Kapena, Queen Liliuokalani, Princess Poomaikelani, etals. She participated in the planning, reburials, and recognized as one of the parties by State of Hawaii-DLNR-Burial Programs, the City & County of Honolulu, etc. Gora's great grandfather was also a hanai/adopted father of Queen Kapiolani, who was married to King Kalakaua, brother of Queen Liliuokalani, wrongfully dethroned in 1893 with present day, ongoing issues. Queen Liliuokalani under the name of Kaeha claimed Abigail/Kapoolohu/Kapooloku/Kapapoko/ Princess Poomaikelani to be her daughter.

Through 18+ years of Archives, Bureau of Conveyances - Libraries, aged books,"hands on" research verifies the oral genealogies,history, etc. of our families. (24+ history, 9+ legal research.)

The Society was pulled together based on the question: Do you have stories of your families having to run and hide(beaten etc.) due to sugar planters/others, etc.?
