Aloha Kalani, got to thinking about my stepdads ohana and wondered where my cousins were that i grew up with, while searching i came upon this website. My stepdad is the youngest child of Lionel and Ermelinda Avilla. I believe he was born almost 10 years after the sibling before him. His name is James Avilla, Sr. just turned 80 July 12th and is now living in Anahola, Kauai with my brother James Avilla, Jr. I'm not sure that my dad will be able to share much of the past, because he was the last born, but you can certainly try and pick his brain. He is still very sharp minded and witty like i remember his parents were at that age. Please if i can be of any more assistance do not hesitate. A hui hou, Pamela Burdine ps. my mother was Lois Kamai Avilla married to James Avilla in 195?
