Notes for Koalaukane
"The Complete Ancestry of John Liwai Kalniopuuikapali-o-Molilele-ma-wai-o-Ahukini-Kau-Hawaii Ena":
Kalaninuiamamao (k) married Kamakaimoku (w) and was born Kalaniopuu (k) King of Hawaii, Ka'u, Puna, and Kona, and was born Keaouakalanikupuapaikalaninui (k), father of Kamehameha I, but Kamehameha was not by him; Keaoua was married for seven years to his chiefly wife, but he did not have a child so Keaweaheulu (k), Kameeiamoku (k), Kamanawa (k) got Kahekiliahumanu (k), King of Maui, to come to Hawaii where Kekuiapoiwa was living and in this mating had that child, a famous conqueror, the seeker of chiefs, leader of the chiefs and in that did the chiefs increase.
In this same genealogy, Solomon says the mother of Kamehameha the Conqueror in Kekupoiwa II. The contradiction is never explained by him - see below
From genealogist Solomon Lehuanui Kalaniomaiheilu Peleioholani (in Ancestry of John Liwai Ena):
Look at Kuhooheiheipahu (w) and Kahekili (k), they being the true chiefly parents of Kamehameha I, Kalanikupule (k), and Koalaukani (k).
The mother is of Kalanikupule is sometimes given as Kauwahine.

FORNANDER:
"Kalanikupule departed for Maui, accompanied by his aunt, Kalola, the widow of Kalaniopuu, and by her new husband, Kaopuiki; by her daughters, Kekuiapoiwa Liliha, widow of Kiwalao, and Kalanikauikikilo; and by her granddaughter, Keopuolani. His brother Koalaukane, and his uncle Kamohomoho, and a noted warrior chief named Kapakahili, were also sent off as his aids and counsellors."
"Kalanikupule, his brother Koalaukani, Kamohomoho, and some other chiefs escaped over the mountain and made their way to Oahu. Kalaniakua, Kekuiapoiwa Liliha, and her daughter Keopuolani, crossed over to Olowalu, where they joined their mother, Kalola, and after a hurried preparation they all left for Molokai, and took up their residence with Kekuelilcenui at Kalamaula."
