No, I don't have any census from Hawaii.
Her marriage certificate says that she was a native of Hawaii, T. H.
My cousin told me that when she took her parents to Maui, my aunt told her
that that was where grandma was born.
I do know that they arrived in California from Hawaii, on 27 Dec. 1887, as
her brother Manuel was born that day underheath the Golden Gate Bridge
That is all that I know.
If you would like the names of her and her parents, I can send you that
info.

Good Luck. I sure would like to find my paternal grandmother's birth info .
She was born in either 1885 or 1886. But, I don't know which island.

I just wrote a letter to our bishop about starting an archives. Since the
State of Hawaii have records only from certain dates we have to rely on the
churches to get birth and marraige records. I do agree with you they are
not to cooperative and they want to charge by the hour to find a record. I
told one lady if I knew when they got married I wouldn't be asking. They
have a wealth of info which I wish they would share.

Hi Tish,
I have gone to the Menlo Park Archives a coupe of times and I have
only looked at the Mission San Jose (St Joseph's) records. They ARE
there and you will have no luck (probably) if you try to deal with the
parish directly. They are not very cooperative and what really
surprises me is that they don't seem to tell people that the records
can be accessed in Menlo Park.
I was able to take pictures with my digital camera of the reader and
mine did come out pretty well. I know Kathy Cardoza has also done this
with success. You will have to do the looking yourself, at least we
did. I am not aware of any of their records on familysearch.org but I
could be wrong on that. A lot of people mix up the Mission San Jose
records thinking that they are in the city of San Jose, CA but the
Mission of "Mission San Jose" is located in the Mission San Jose area
of what is now the city of Fremont.......so all of that area is in the
Menlo Park Archives.
PRIMA ROESMARIE......CONGRATULATIONS....a wonderful Christmas
present!!
I hope I am not double posting here.....I still get so confused with
Google Groups:)
