    Elinore’s maiden name is Meyers and she was the daughter of George Washington Meyers and Estella Ann “Stella” Deweese. She had also Dutch, English, German, and some Irish roots. Here’s the additional source: http://birth-records.mooseroots.com/l/911168/Mary-Elinore-Meyers

    Same applies to Ikaika’s brother Kamuela.
