**Cousin (through stepmother, Esther):
Miulang Puaonaona Kameekua Ah Mau Baker {2/8/1917 - 9/4/1994}
**Note that per the U.S. Social Security Applications & Claims Index, Miulang's parents were John Newton Nukuna Kameekua (Esther's 1st husband) & Alice Lono Kahikina Nakea (Esther's sister). Thus, Miulang was not Esther's daughter but her niece, and she was not Rebecca's sister--as stated in numerous family obituaries--but her cousin. Alice married soon after her daughter's birth, and her husband Daniel Ah Mau would ultimately give his stepdaughter, Miulang Kameekua, his name.

**Niece (through stepbrother, Clement Awana):
Helen Nahaloa Awana Stone Kelley {8/19/1921 - 4/11/2013}
**Note that Helen's father was Clement Aho Awana, who was the stepson of Henry Akina and the stepbrother of Rebecca Ho. Thus, Helen was not Rebecca's sister--as stated in numerous family obituaries--but her niece, the daughter of her stepbrother.

**Nephew (through half-brother, Joseph Akina):
David Kenneth Akina {7/29/1925 - 3/26/1986}
**Note that per the California Death Index, David Kenneth's parents were Joseph George Akina & Harriet Kauikeolani Shaw. In the 1930 U.S. Census of the Hawaiian Islands re Honolulu, Oahu, the Akina family is listed erroneously as follows: widower Henry, his son Joseph, his daughter-in-law Harriet & his five grandchildren--Harriet, Henrietta, Henry Joseph, Kenneth & Abraham. Only 1 is his grandchild, and the other 4 are his own children with his 2nd wife, Esther, making those 4 the half-siblings of Rebecca Ho.
