I JUST FOUND MY GRANDMA LAST NAME IS FRIEND AND THIS CAME ABOUT WHEN I WAS REGISTYING FOR MY HAWAIIAN RIGHTS.
MY MOM GAVE ME A LITTLE INFO BUT I WAS A LITTLE CURIOUS. MY GRANDMA NAME IS DONNA MAXINE FRIEND AND WAS MARRIED TO Howard Taylor Holden. I DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT MY WHITE ANCESTORY BECAUSE I WAS RAISED IN HAWAII AND ONLY LEARNED ABOUT MY HAWAIIAN HISTORY. IM IN THE AIR FORCE STATIONED AT DOVER AFB DELAWARE AND MY MOTHER JUST TOLD ME ABOUT MY WHITE BLOOD AND TOLD ME HOW IT WAS A STRONG BLOOD LINE WITH NO SCRUBS IN IT. I WANTED TO KNOW A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THIS. SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE HAS TWO LARGE BOOKS ABOUT THE FRIEND ANCESTORY AND WILL EMAIL ME WHERE IS THE LINE FROM AND SO FORTH

I know the FFAA (Friend Family Association) has been contacted from another person of the Friend line from Hawaii (may be a relative of yours) but I am not at my home computer and I don't have the information with me (if I saved it).
If you can give us some dates for Donna Maxine Friend and possible birth location it may help us locate her family line in the FFAA records.
Your information (given to date) is very interesting and it is always nice to meet another FRIEND cousin. Please post more information when it becomes available to you. The mention of the two large books about the Friend ancestry is intriguing too. Patty

Chadley, I hope you have been patient enough to keep checking back about your post. I finally found out who the other person was that posted about be a FRIEND and also having Hawaiian ancestry. It was your mother.
I am sorry that I could not recall exactly who posted; I read entirely too many emails about genealogy.
If you are in the area of (present day) Swedesboro, NJ you should know that this was the land where your FRIEND roots start in America.
