Hello! I am Trish Elliott-Kashima, the Hawaii County coordinator for the HIGenWeb Project.    My husband's paternal ancestors lived on the Big Island for a few generations and his maternal family lived on Maui.   His family is scattered across the Islands and on the mainland.  I lived on Oahu as a child as my Dad was a Marine. We were there when Hawaii became a State in 1959, and was on the Big Island during the eruption of Kilauea Iki in 1959.  I have not lived in Hawaii for many years.
