==Compiled Genealogies==
The term genealogy is used in this Wiki article and in the FamilySearch Catalog to describe a variety of records containing family information previously gathered by other researchers, societies, or archives. These records can include pedigree charts, compiled data on families, correspondence, ancestor lists, research exchange files, record abstracts, and collections of original or copied documents. These can be excellent sources of information that can save you valuable time. Because they are secondary sources of information, however, they must be carefully evaluated for accuracy.

An important manuscript collection of compiled genealogies for [[Hawaii Genealogy|Hawaii]] is William A. Cole's ''Cole-Jensen Collection''. This consists of 51 binders and folders of oral genealogy transcripts collected from Polynesians of Hawaii, New Zealand, Samoa, Tahiti, and the Cook Islands, microfilmed in 1984. The Hawaiian genealogies comprise three of nine microfilms (beginning on Family History Library film {{FHL|41772|title-id|disp=1358001}}). The original materials no longer exist as an intact collection. This collection has been '''digitized'''. See [http://histfam.familysearch.org/learnmore.php Pacific Islands] under Community Trees.<br>


A major published genealogical collection is Edith Kawelohea McKinzie, ''Hawaiian Genealogies: Extracted from Hawaiian Language Newspapers''. Two Volumes. (Honolulu: Brigham Young University–Hawaii, 1983-6; Family History Library book {{FHL|56616|title-id|disp=996.9 D2m}}). The FamilySearch Catalog&nbsp;also lists several sources on Hawaiian nobility under HAWAII - NOBILITY.

== Writing and Sharing Your Family History ==
Sharing your own family history is valuable for several reasons:<br>
*It helps you see gaps in your own research and raises opportunities to find new information.
*It helps other researchers progress in researching ancestors you share in common.
*It draws other researchers to you who already have information about your family that you do not yet possess.
*It draws together researchers with common interests, sparking collaboration opportunities. For instance, researchers in various localities might choose to do lookups for each other in remote repositories. Your readers may also share photos of your ancestors that you have never seen before.<br>
