This page is to encourage the exchange of information about these men and women who brought Christianity to this area. The goal is to establish a biographical outline for each person with a list of educational accomplishments and list of places of service thoughout their life time. Also some information on where they came from and their ancestry. Also a full list of descendants with addresses for those still living. This will assist the church in extending an invitation to their spiritual brethren to attend periodic anniversary celebrations which normally include honoring their leaders of the past.

at Wailuku on the Sabbath usually exceeds 3,000."
1833 Until recently the chiefs have been regarded as something more than
mortal. Still most people treat everything said by a chief as law, not just
as advice. So when the Holy Ghost moved the chiefs to embrace Christianity
their advise to embrace it must have had the force of law. So if told to
attend church or to study, they did so. Cotton grows well in HI, but natives
have no means for making cloth. All cloth comes from abroad. The sandal wood
is gone. Three new stations formed on Maui, Molokai, and Oahu.
Mr. Green at the station in Wailuku, which borders a tract
of country containing 23,000 souls. The head man has made preparation
for building a stone church 188', with a rainai (Lanai), or sort of
native piazza, 40' wide to accomodate 2,000 people. Within last year
there were 1400 Christian marriages in Hawaii, including 441 on Hawaii,
464 on Maui, 384 on Oahu, and 179 on Kauai.
