While conducting research for our family tree, we have
identified several websites that have been very useful in our quest to locate branches on our family tree. Some sites
tend to be specific to a certain ethnicity or demographic or geographic area. In comparison, the information available
for genealogy research, on the web, pertaining to Hawaiian ancestry, is very limited.
Nothing beats having the ability to hand-search official
records and images in an archive. The internet is fast becoming the second best method. In most cases, its
faster and cheaper.
This page lists several genealogy research-based links,
which have been helpful in our quest to locate branches on our Hawaiian-Filipino family tree:
___________________________________________
Ancestry.com - We used this subscription site, which provides an excellent source for historical document images,
such as U.S. Census images. See Census images in "Our Heritage" section of site. The ability to see actual
U.S. Census documents was invaluable to confirm family history passed down verbally or written in notes, such as family Bibles.
