I suggest that you post a notice with the above particulars in soc.culture.hawaii, a moderated newsgroup. If your article is rejected, you can post it to alt.culture.hawaii. Anyone knowing these people will probably write to you. Secondly, there is a Goo Society in Hawaii. You need to contact the United Chinese Society, 42 N. King Street, Honolulu, Hawaii 96817, Tel: (808) 536-4621, Fax: 536-7848. Ask them for the contact person in the Goo Society. There are Goos in Hawaii that are from the Noo Chow village. For Hawaiian genealogy (Hawaiian-Chinese) in Hawaii, contact Office of Hawaiian Affairs, 711 Kapiolani Boulevard, 5th floor, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813. Ask them for advice. They should be able to steer you in the right direction. Lester D. K. Chow lchow@lava.net
