Genealogical Succession

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In this chiefly genealogy are the ancestors of the chiefs and the
general populace of Hawaii nei. They are branched out in various places
in Hawaii. The chiefs are different, the general populace is different.
The chiefs go about in their high esteemed manner and the common people
go about in their humble manner.

The chiefs of Oahu and Kauai, Hawaii and Maui and Molokai have one
common ancestery. But they branched out and reunited in places.

In the genealogical line of Nanaulu, it is thought that he is an
ancester of Tahiti and Borabora because in this genealogy 
down to Moikeha ( it is said he is from 
Tahiti ) and married Hooipo ( Hinauulua ) in Kauai, who bore their three
children:
Hookamalii, Haulanuiaiakea, and Kila.
And Hookamalii became the chiefly ancestor for Oahu: and Haulanuiaiakea
for Kauai; and Kila for Hawaii.

In the geneology of Punaimua, he is one of the ancestors of Oahu, Kauai
and Hawaii's chiefs. From Punaimua until
Laamaikahiki ( it is said he comes from Tahiti) and in Kualoa on Oahu
was the place he landed and married four wives: 
Hoakanuikapuaihelu the name of one wife, Waolena another, Manoopupaipai
another, and Halaula was the fourth. Three wives gave birth on the same
day.
To Hoakanuikapuaihelu was born Laulialaa; to Waolena was born
Ahukinialaa; to Manoopupaipai was born Kukonaalaa; Halaula bore
Laapuweluula who was born at a different time. From here we obtained
some of the chiefly ancesters of Oahu and Kauai and Hawaii
and Maui.

Where Kauai's chiefs are united with Hawaii's: Kalanikukuma married
Kapoleikauila and had Kahakumakaliua; 
Umi married Mokuahualieakea and had Akahiilikapu who married
Kahakumakaliua and was born Koihalawai who married Keawenuiaumi and had
Kanaloakuaana.

The place where Oahu's chiefs are lined to Hawaii's: Kaihikapuakuihewa
married Ipuwaiahoalani and had Kauakahikuaanaauakane and had
Kaneikauaiwilani who married Keakealani and had Kalanikauleleiaiwi.

Therefore, the chiefs who were recently deceased were linked and the
very ancient chiefs they were linked since the chiefs of various lands
went and travelled
and pursued pleasures as it has been frequently been said in legends.
However, there are many abusive things which they did in warring back
and forth.

The genealogical lines that have branched out of Nanaula are Nana,
Kapulani, Punaimua, Kuhelani, Hanalaaiki, Kanaloa, Kalahumoku, Makalae,
Hakau and others. There is just one person for whom are these ancestors
at this time. 

The people of this genealogy from the first to the last were the ones
who have branched out through the children; it is not this genealogy
that must be understood; it is every branch  that must be understood.
