Hawaii County,
1905, Hilo
County Coordinator: Daryl Lytton
Hawaii County consists of the "big island" of Hawaii, with over half the
state's total land area. It is the site of Mauna Kea, the tallest unbroken
base-to-peak mountain in the World, and the famous active volcanos Mauna
Loa and Kilauea.
Honolulu County,
1905, Honolulu
County Coordinator: Diane Mason
Honolulu County consists of the island of Oahu, and the entire Hawaiian
Archipelago northwest of Kauai County except the Midway Islands, which are
not part of the State of Hawaii. Honolulu County includes the overwhelming
majority of the state's population. It is also the nation's longest county,
extending over 1300 miles from Kure to the southeastern tip of Oahu.
Kalawao County, 1905,
Kalaupapa
County Coordinator: Maggie Stewart
Kalawao County consisted of Father Damien's famous Molokai Leper Colony
which, due to the nature of the disease, allowed no contact with the
outside world and required a separate, independent county administration,
which was mostly merged into Maui County in the 1970's and 1980's.
Now that Hansen's Disease (Leprosy) is treatable, the Colony is closing
and becoming Kalaupapa National Historic Park. This county does still
officially exist, however, and is the nation's smallest in area, at 13
square miles, and in population, currently around 60.
Kauai County,
1905, Lihue
County Coordinator: Sandra Belshaw
Kauai County consists of the islands of Kauai and Niihau.
Maui County
, 1905, Wailuku
County Coordinator: Charles Barnum
Maui County consists of the islands of Kahoolawe, Lanai, Maui, and Molokai.
In June 1996, a group of genealogists created the USGenWeb Project, based on
the Kentucky GenWeb Project organized earlier that spring. In the same month,
the USGenWeb Archives were created as the centralized online data library of
the project. Volunteers were found to coordinate and maintain state and county
GenWeb webpages, containing queries, lookup resources, surname registries, and
other tools. Other volunteers worked on obtaining and managing the online data
files submitted to the project. The Hawaii USGenWeb Project and the Hawaii
GenWeb Archives are the Hawaii branches of these national efforts.
The person responsible for the Hawaii USGenWeb Project is Hawaii State
GenWeb Coordinator Maggie Stewart. The person
responsible for online data related to Hawaii is Hawaii USGenWeb Archives
State Manager Maggie Stewart.
Some Hawaii counties are still available. If you are interested in
volunteering and hosting a county or in some other volunteer work for this
project please view the details on the
Guidelines for Volunteers and Coordinators page,
then contact Hawaii State Coordinator Maggie Stewart for details.
