Hello everyone. I am a Puerto Rican who has traveled extensively while in the military. The only times I have been to Hawaii was enroute to and from Guam and to and from Vietnam. I am sorry I was never able to spend any quality time with Hawaiians. My grandparents immigrtated to Hawaii in the 1900's. Once they left Puerto Rico they were never heard from again. I have always wondered whether they arrived in Hawaii. They left their daughter in San Sebastian, PR. Their daughter was my mother. Is there any way to determine whether they ever arrived in Hawaii? Did they have other children? Do I have family in Hawaii I never even heard of? These are the questions that constantly concern me. Can anyone suggest a way for me to determine answers to these questions?

I have a cousin who was past President of the Hawai'i Potorican Association. He now lives in Kona. I will try to find his number and call him to ask how you may find out information on your grandparents. There is a way.
Please check back in a few days. I will try my best. In the mean time I will search on HT. Maybe Tita Miulang will see this thread herself.
Aloha and Good Luck!

Understanding? Absolutely!
Curiosity is probably the best description right now.

Re: Puerto Rican Immigration To Hawaii
MAR Y SOL there is a book titled "DE BORINQUEN A HAWAII-FROM PUERTO RICO TO HAWAII" by Blaze Camacho Souza. Pages 42-104 of that book are said to contain names of first Puerto Ricans to go from Puerto Rico to Hawaii. I have learned that the Hawaii State Library in Honolulu has the book. Unfortunately copies don't seem to be available for sale. I cannot go to the library because I am in Texas. (will someone tell me what "Keiki" means)

Re: Puerto Rican Immigration To Hawaii
people who fit your grandparents profile would be known around the local PR communities. Are you comfortable sharing their names to strangers you meet on the internet? If they were still living, how old would they be?
Many of us still live in communities with "six degrees of integration".
