1905, Hilo |
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. |
1905, Honolulu |
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. |
1905, Kalaupapa |
Kalawao County consisted of Father Damian'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. |
1905, Lihue |
Kauai County consists of the islands of Kauai and Niihau. |
1905, Wailuku |
Maui County consists of the islands of Kahoolawe, Lanai, Maui, and Molokai. |

This Project is about remembering our dead and preserving our history!!
If you would like to transcribe data for this Project, or you have already done cemetery surveys and would like to share that work with the world, please let us hear from you. All Cemetery Surveys, Gravestone Inscriptions, Tombstone Photos and other files related to cemeteries are posted in the HIGenWeb Archives. It is not necessary to submit files to both the Tombstone Transcription Project and the HI Archives. Please understand, I am unable to respond to queries about ancestors, cemeteries, or do lookups! If a cemetery is not listed, we do not have any information available.
