~ , Portuguese. My mother is related to Ana Keholokalole. That's her grandmother's sister. By the same father Aikanaka, if you can follow my chart there. MCINTOSH: (Nodding affirmatively.) MEDEIROS: This Aikanaka had, with his wife Kamae he had Keohokalole with Keliiaukai, my grandma, he had Kekua and Keliiuela. If you go down the chazt Keliiuela married Kuwalu and got Puhalahua. Are you following me? MARTINSON: (Nodding affirmatively.) MEDEIROS: Puhalahua married Kanika, my great grandma, and had Mokuohai and his other sisters and brothers, Kanamu, Ana, Keanani and Keolanui, and Kauhewa. And then John Mokuohai married to Kaehamalalce who was an Elemakule and got my grandma Abigail, which was Abbie; and Abbie married Willie Parker and had my mother and my Uncle Chazlie. And, you know, no, so, yes, that's right. You know, my grandma, I mean, Abigail married Willie Pazker and had Leihulu Mokuohai and Chazles Mokuohai. And my mother married Frank Medeiros and got us eight children. But our Grandfather John Mokuohai was born in the 1850s he knew his aunty Keohokalole and they only called her Ana and because Ane is short for Anela which is angel in Hawaiian. And like in some of the land cases I believe the Hawaiians had three names, some had four names; and they were usually called by one name, in pazticulaz, which was not a real last name or first name but maybe the middle name. So since we were familiaz and the older people aze familiar with Ana we would think that maybe this Ana could be inserted or maybe in parenthesis or something. I'm not opposing the name Ane but I would like to have it so that the people would know that they're talking about the same person when they print out, say Ana instead of Ane. Because Ane could mean, in other words, some people call Annie, A-n-n-i-e, Ane, you see, Ane. And so I'm just asking the Commission, if it's possible, as a member of her family, to put Ana as her name. Thank you. TANAKA: Mr. Chairman, I have a question. ALONZO: Commissioner Tanaka. TANAKA: So her certified name is Ane, A-n-e, is that corr~.,t. But she was referred to or often called Ana? MEDEIROS: I'm not sure if she had a certified name. Because it was, sometimes, like in the case when my Great Grandfather was called Kealohapauole but his last name Kahunaaina. He went all through all his life with Kealohapauhole, even in the certified books. So I don't know if it was a certified name or it was just that, maybe Kauikeaouli who did the, give out the Mahele when cut short the name Anela to Ane. I'm not sure. -3-
