HCGS Meeting August 12, 2017

Honolulu County Genealogical Society

Aloha.   WE ARE MEETING Saturday August 8th, 2017    This meeting we are charged with two things: first, those who volunteered to share a time when we assumed something and it turned out to not be true or, accepted some research that turned out to be false and how we discovered the error, be ready to present.  Secondly, remember to bring a paragraph (or page) about one of your ancestors to share

DIRECTIONS to the meeting site:   Keola building  1465 A’ala St., Honolulu.

    The Keola Ho’onanea high rise is centrally located between N School St and N Vineyard St. and between Liliha St and Nuuanu Ave.  It’s across the river (Nuuanu Steam) from Foster Botanical Garden and next to the H1.   It’s a seven-minute walk from the bus stop on Liliha Street and Vineyard.  

    There is free on-street parking on A’ala or on Vineyard.  Car-pooling is a good idea, and arrive early to find somewhere to park.   There is a loading area by the door for those to unloading refreshments, or projector, etc.   A handicap parking space may be available.  Don’t park in the building’s lot unless it is marked for visitor.

     Stanley Yon gave a presentation of his search for family
