1886, May 2  -Although Theodore had been in Hawaii since 1881, he is reconfirmed in the Lihue Lutheran Church on Kauai. 

Date of confirmation 2 May 1886

1. Heinrich Theodor Friedrich M(illegible) Julius Kiesel,
legitimate son of the laborer Karl Kiesel of Lihue and his wife Augusta nee Funke,
born on 6 January 1872 in Nienburg an der Weser and
baptized there on 28 January 1872

1887 - Karl Kiesel applies for immigration and states that he was a resident of Washington State. [immigration application papers]
             He apparently brings most of the family with him and may have come to Seattle with other German immigrants from Hawaii.

In 1892 Theodore seems to have gone to Tacoma, Washington with his parents but goes back Hawaii where he shows up on the 1900 census with a wife and two sons so he marries Victoria in 1894.

1896, about -  Theodore Kiesel must have married "Victoria" Kahue.  There are no records in the Hawaii Archives but he could have married in a church leaving no government record.  They could also have had an native family wedding also leaving no record.  They show themselves as married for six years in the census records of 1900.

Magnolia Soares writes on 29 Feb 2012
I do not know why Victoria's children were "hanai" to family members.  However, I do know that Victoria Kahue was married in a church in Koolauloa.  Maybe I will find it in the Mormon records.
 
The custom before 1860 was only one name was used for Hawaiians.  Kuewaa (wahine) m Kaonohi (Kane)  Christen names were added after 1860 by law.  Therefore, Nancy's mother is Kuewaa and her father is Kaonohi.  Nancy's daughter Nancy Kaonohi married Moses in 1928.  She was her last child.  We are trying to get the genealogy for Hookano Kahue.  We are evidently descendents of Kamehameha I and Keopuolani through Princess Victoria Kamamalu who had an affair with a married man named Monsarrat (Marcus Cummins Monsarrat(1828-1870)).  The royal artifacts and royal pictures were placed in the care of George Kiesel and then his daughter Josephine Kiesel Lee, who passed on recently has turned everything over to someone in the family.  It is the custom that one family be custodian of all these special treasures and nothing be sold.

                                                          Kamamalu.jpg
I was able to see a number of pictures of Hawaiian Royalty when I visited Josephine the day after the funeral services for her brother George Kiesel, Jr.  It was like entering a museum. 
Victoria and Theodore are buried on property that was originally owned by Ulei in Laie.  This is where Victoria, sister of my father Charles were raised before Ulei's passing.  The property was sold by Whitney Akana, a descendent of V ictoria  Kiesel and John Akana.  Other family members are buried there also.

It seems Victoria with adopted along with her two brothers by King Kamehameha III (Ka'ahumanu III) who had only an infant child who died.  Victorias brother becomes the heir to the throne and eventually Kamahameha IV.

I''m grasping at straws here with the census for the Hawaiian connection.  There are a great many variations of similar names.   This particular one is as close as I can find.  If I'm correct this Kaonobi is "Nancy" in the 1910 census.   The "partner" is probably Williams and his child. This would also mean that "Nancy's" father is dead.

1910 - In this particular census we have an unusual marking of the race or origin of the individuals.  Theodore seems to marked as "CA" I believe to mean "Caucasian", HA would be Hawaiian and CH would be Chinese.  Theodore are also married for 4 years so obviously the two oldest children have a different mother. It seems in this census Theodore has remarried by 1908  and that Victoria and George of the earlier relationship have been adopted by their mother's family, Kahaluha Cadule, while Lyon is living with Lyon Naone.

According to Magnolia, Lyons Kiesel was "hanaied" which I take as a being adopted , at least temporarily.  Victoria and Charley apparently moved back to Theodore's home.  Lyons adopted the name of his family.

1932, April 14 - A murder trial of a Mrs. Fortescue, Lieut. Thomas H. Massie, E. J. Lord and Albert O Jones accused of lynching Joseph Kahahawai in "an honor slaying" for the beating of Mrs Fortescue's daughter. The accused are defended by Clarence Darrow. The trial was held in Honolulu with "the matron Mrs Victoria Akana" as a witness for the prosecution and a police station matron who had found her with an incriminating piece of sheeting.  ["Darrow Ready for Action in Murder Trial", Appleton Post Crescent, Appleton, WI. page 3]
"Victoria Akana, a matron at the police station, was summoned to testify that she took from Mrs. Fortescue's person after the latter's arrest a strip of cloth apparently torn from a sheet. this strip fits the missing part of one of th sheets which was wrapped about Kahahawai's body."  by William H. Ewing. [Moberly Monitor-Index, (Moberly, Missouri) April 13, 1932]
