The Oli & Carmen Liaga Ohana.
WE HAVE REACHED 1,553 INDIVIDUALS
These are the ancestors of Oli who come from the land of Western and American Samoa. They traveled to Hawaii and now gone through America. These also are the ancestors of Carmen, who ancestors came from Puerto Rico on ships in the late 1800's. They migrated to Hawaii to become sugar plantation workers. Many of whom settled on the island of Maui, Oahu and spread throughout the Hawaiian islands.
To this day many of us search our geneology looking for any information, pictures and whereabouts of our ancestors. Remembering the words of my Grandfather 'Golito', "We have Indian blood in us". I have done research and have found out that both my mothers ancestors and my fathers ancestors came from the regions in Puerto Rico that were inhabited by Taino Indians. Both my grandfather (then) and my mother (now) have been approached by others and asked if they are Indian decent due to thier facial features. I will believe what we were told to by my grandfather, that we are Indian, and will continue my research so that my children and grandchildren will "learn the truth and respect the culture" (a Hawaiian quote).
"GOLITO, THIS ONES FOR YOU."
