07-15 Ching, Ling, Wong Searching for descendants of Wong Ching (Chinese) and Anna Wong Ching (Hawaiian), residents of Kohala at about 1900. They had two daughters that I know of, Clara (Lan Kyau Wong born 12/25/1899, married to Ross Anderson, relocated to Sonora California). The other daughter I know as "Mary Ling" who apparently lived on Kaimuki Avenue, Honolulu in 1966. I have a photo of Clara with her sister's two children taken at Mary Ling's Kaimuki Avenue home in 1966 (a girl about 4 years old and a boy about 2 years old). I am the god daughter of Clara (she had no children, but considered me her hanai daughter) and would appreciate any information on her relatives. Christina 06/23/07
07-14 Smith I would like someone to take a picture or copy of my gret uncles headstone - Albert W. Smith's at National Memorial Cemetery of The Pacific. The address and plot are 2177 Puowaina Drive Honolulu, HI 96813 - Section R Site 350.

We finally found Albert after all these years. We thought he was buried in South Korea where he was killed in the Korean War 30 June 1951. (Birth date is 30 Oct 1918). I live in Oklahoma and I'll never be able to have this momento as I'm so far away so I ask for this headstone photo to remember my great uncle Woody.

07-05 Wright I'm looking for information regarding Arthur Wright, more specifically his parents and a first wife? I have information saying he was born 4 Mar 1919 in Honolulu, son of Harry Wright and "Annie" (or "Kalalalahua") He married my grandmother in Ohio in 1980, so I was raised with him as my grandfather. I also have info that he was in the Army Engineers during WWII from 1942-1945 there in Hawaii. This is all info that was passed down to me by my parents, so I'm unsure as to how correct it may be. Any information regarding his parents (and his first wife as I believe he was married before my grandmother) would be a great asset to my family research! Thank you! Candy 03/17/07

07-02 Harris Hello, I'm trying to find out any information about a cousin we've lost contact with. I believe he may be deceased, but I don't have a physical address to use to request a death certificate.

Our cousin's name is Fred O. Harris, and he came from Mineral County, West Virginia, where my paternal grandmother's family comes from. He was very much into geneaological research and had at least one child (a son).

I believe he lived in Honolulu, may have had a realty business. His wife was Governor Burns' secretary. I appreciate any leads or information about him and his Hawaiian family.
