Immigrant Sugar Plantation Workers in Hawaii: A Multi-Ethnic Approach to Genealogy
For almost a century, people from all over the world came to Hawaii to work on the sugar plantations. Research on these immigrants reveals a wide range of experiences that did not always end in Hawaii but sometimes involved return to the homeland or migration to the mainland. In addition to discussing sources of genealogical records and how to access them, this presentation will include examples of how historical and cultural context and chronicles of everyday life can provide rich and memorable impressions of plantation-era ancestors in Hawaii.
Saturday, September 14, 1:00-4:00 PM
