Using a growing collection of information compiled from various archives and other sources, the Restoration of Family Ties project has helped hundreds of families learn more about ancestors who were sent to Kalaupapa because of government policies regarding leprosy (now also called Hansen’s disease).

Light refreshments will served at the free event, co-sponsored by the Historic Hawai’i Foundation. For information, call 523-2900 or visit www.historichawaii.org.
