I am looking for a cousin, Glenda Dodd Solmarin. Last time I saw her was
in 1969 in Colorado Springs, CO when she came to the main land to visit
her ill father.
Her Father's name: Winfred Dodd of Colorado Springs, CO. She had a baby
girl with her that was probably born in 1969. Any help will be
appriecated. I know she didn't live on the big island back then.

My name is Donna Regina LINDSEY, and my father is Donald
Reginald Lindsey (natural son of Stella Lindsey deMattos
Schmitt, and adopted son of Stella's older brother, George M.
and his wife, Thelma Lulu Lindsey) from the big island. My mother and father
divorced when I was just a baby, and the last time I was in
touch with my father was my high school graduation in 1985. I am
hoping that someone might have information regarding his current
whereabouts. I have reason to believe he is still on the main-
land, perhaps near Fresno, CA. If you can help, please e-mail
me at the address above. Thank you very much!

I am searching for the ancestors of Basilio Borrelli (my paternal
grandfather) born in San Juan, Puerto Rico 15 Jul 1891 and died
Aug 1981 in San Francisco. Basilio and two brothers migrated to
Hawaii early 1900s. When they arrived in Hawaii, each of the 3
brothers spelled his surname different. We are not sure what the
correct spelling of the family surname is. Basilio met and married
Pola Santiago. Basilio was Pola's second husband, she already had
a daughter named Annie and a son named Ben. They moved to Vallejo,
CA and later to San Francisco, CA. Basilio & Pola had 6 more
children,
George, Alcilio, Amelia, Marian, Daniel, and Delores.
Basilio's father was Isidro Borrelli (sp?) and his mother was
Juana M. Perez.

I am updating the charts in The Mau Lineage by
Edward Seu Chen Mau (my father) which was
published by UH Press in 1990. I am especially
interested in information about women who were
born MAU or MOW, their spouses,
children, grandchildren, etc. The MAU and MOW
immigrants settled primarily in Honolulu and Maui
Counties. There were some MAU on Kauai who may
also be related.
I am also interested in maternal
relatives with surnames HISANAGA, TAKEMOTO,
SEKIOKA. They settled primarily in Hawaii, Kauai,
and Honolulu counties.

SMITH, Catherine M. Unknown Island, possibly Oahu. I am
looking for information about "Miss Catherine M. Smith"
whose name appears as the addessee on a Sept 27, 1837
issue of the Hawaiian language newspaper "Ke Kumu Hawaii".
I know that a Reverend Lowell Smith was one of the
5th company of missionaries, who arrived in Honolulu
1 May 1833. I assume some connection between Lowell
and Catherine, but that may not be the case.

DANG, FO, LUM, KIM Families: I am searching for any information on
my ancestors who lived in China and Korea before my great-grandparents
immigrated to Hawaii. The earliest known generation is Mr. Sau San
DANG and his wife Ha Quen KIM (of Korea) and Mr. Tin Kyun FO and his

plantation called Punalu'u (island unknown). We don't know any of
our ancestors who lived before these individuals, but we know they
came from Southern China, spoke Punti and/or Hakka and/or Cantonese.

Surnames: DE SOUZA ASSENCAO FERARA TUCHER FERARA DE SOUZA TECHADA
Submitter: Jean Salas

Looking for the Portuguese Family of JOAQUIN FERARA DE SOUZA and MARIA TRESA TECHADA OR
TUCHER. Family history states they left Maderia, Portugal and landed somewhere in Hawaii.
They had the following children,Mary, Alvina, Amelia, Cora, Virginia, Manuel and Augusta.
We know for a fact that Cora was born in Hawaii. Every year until her death she received
flowers from Hawaii. She was born before Hawaii became a state. I do not know her exact
birthdate, it may have been June 1892. Her siblings were born around 1881-1892 or so.
Family history states that the Ferara de Souza family owned a pineapple plantation. Its
exact location is unknown. Perhaps a brother of Joaquin Ferara or Maria Tresa Techada.
The family left Hawaii and relocated to Folsom, California. According to the Census of
1920 it showed that the family immigrated around 1887 and Mary may have followed her
husband in 1889. Supposedly other Ferara family members are still living in Hawaii today.
JOAQUIN FERARA !
DE SOUZA was also known as JOAQUIN F. ASSENCAO. MARIA TRESA TECHADA may have had other
family living in Hawaii She was also known a MARY TUCHER. Other Tucher family names are
Anthony James, Albert Joseph, Wilma and Elizabeth. Unfortunately this is all I known
about this family. I do not know what ship they came in on. I do not know when they were
married in Hawaii or in the Maderia Islands. If anyone can help me with this I would
greatly appreciate it. Jean P.S. When the family settled in Folsom they became the
Ferara and Tucher families dropping the last part of their names (ie. de Souza)
