06-24 Cravalho, Jacinth, Santos I am looking for information on the Cravalho family from Kula Maui. My paternal grandmother's name was Mary Cravalho. And I don't know my paternal grandfather's name. My father was Lawrence Justin Cravalho Sr. born in 1918 on Maui.

I am also looking for information on the Jacinth family from Maui. My mother Cecilia Jacinth was born in Sprecklesville, Maui in 1923. Her parents were Mary Jacinth whose maden name I believe was Santos. My maternal grandfather's name was Seraphine Jacinth. I'm not sure of the spelling of his first name.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

06-11 Lindsey, Rowland ALOHA! I am trying to locate my birth mother, Marylane LINDSEY (maiden name), and any of her other children. As of 1973, she lived on the island of Oahu. Marylane gave birth to me in San Diego, CA in 1963 when she was 28 yrs old. Her married name at the time was Marylane ROWLAND (I guess she was born in 1935 & would be about 71 now). The last name ROWLAND is the only name I have on my original birth certificate. I was given (hanai-ed) to her cousin to be raised, and I've only seen Marylane twice in my life - Once in 1969 & again in 1973--both times in Oahu, HI.

I know I have at least two older sisters (one's named Janie) and one younger brother (Robert). I met them on my first visit to my birth mother's home in 1969, but the memory is vague. There may possibly be more--I believe Marylane also had twins, but they died in a fire before I was born. It is very important that I find a link with my birth family so I can correct my name on my birth certificate. I would GREATLY appreciate any & all information anyone can provide. MAHALO!
