Ya ever find yourself connected to a place you would never expect?
Some odd genealogy that somehow hooks you to a group, or family?
My cousin Bob was a St. Vincent De Paul's orphan, took away from his family (or given up) at age 3. He's 69 now.
A few years ago he has to track down his legit birth certificate and finds out he's a 50%er native Hawaiian. His father's name is Morise Alana.
I get to talking with him and his wife Rosie at my other cousin's funeral this past Saturday, he tells he found out his dad played with a band in and around Detroit called The Royal Hawaiians...he doesn't know much more than this...so I go to a googeling....
The Royal Hawaiians Band in Michigan was headed up by Johnny 'Ukulele' Ka'aihue:

I do art for...Pali Ka'aihue.....
How bizarre is that????
