How to find my family tree?

Question

I recently went to a family reunion and found out that I along with only about 100 other people are direct descendants of King Kamehameha I. Our blood runs right through the kings and queens only to be diluted within the last two generations. (When the "white man" took over) Ha lol. I was wondering if there is any way to find my family tree.

Answer 1

If you want to find embarrassing skeletons, rattling to get out of the cupboards, carry on.  Who the h**l wants to go raking up the past.  Live and enjoy each day as it comes, and forget the old bones.  I am descended from lady courtiers to the King, not all respectable thank God.  xx

Answer 2

A part you can do via the Internet, ancestor.com but even better is to travel(cost money) and when you have as much names as you can from your family and dead records, marriage records etc.. would help you to find the right info.

Answer 3

You research it or you have it done by genealogist. Ancestry.com can help with both options.To get it done right,have it done by a professional!

Answer 4

Try this link that gives the Hawaiian Royal Family's genealogy starting in the early part of the 19th century with King Kamehameha I:

A better place to post this question would have been "Genealogy".

Answer 8

Ask your father where it's planted.

Answer 9

Check your DNA

Answer 10

Check with Kamehameha Schools--I think they know the geneology since they confirm pre-contact Hawaiian blood.  There has been intermarriage with mostly whites by Hawaiians for hundreds of years, not just the last two generations.  The most direct Kamehameha descendents are the Kawananakoas, which include Abigail and her nephew Quentin.

Answer 11

Since Kamehameha is Hawaiian, I doubt there are any written records from before the "white man's intrusion" Every Hawaiian can claim to be descended from royalty, because of lack of proof. All Hawaiians would seem to have a common DNA.

You can draw whatever family lineage you wish, because it cannot be disproved.
