-Less than 1 percent of [[Hawaii Genealogy|Hawaii]]'s population is pure-blooded Hawaiian. Many immigrant groups originally came as contract laborers to work in the sugar fields. The Chinese began arriving in 1852, followed by the Portuguese in 1878, the Japanese in 1884, Koreans in 1903, and  Filipinos in 1906. Those of Japanese descent presently constitute about 30 percent of the total population, and are the largest ethnic group in Hawaii. American missionaries from New England started coming in 1820, but the number of Americans was not significant until about 1875. For a summary of immigrant information see [http://splendidtable.publicradio.org/about/hawaii_immigrants.shtml A History of Hawaiian Immigration]
-An especially helpful history of the many ethnic groups in Hawaii is Eleanor C. Nordyke, ''The Peopling of Hawaii''(Honolulu, Hawaii: University Press of Hawaii, 1989) {{FHL|564504|item|disp=FHL book 996.9 W2n}}). Family History Library records of ethnic groups are listed in the FamilySearch Catalog under the subject heading HAWAII - MINORITIES. There are published histories for the Japanese and Filipinos, and annotated bibliographies for the Chinese and Koreans.

 ==Immigration Records==
 '''Immigration''' refers to people coming into a country. '''Emigration''' refers to people leaving a country to go to another.  Immigration records usually take the form of ship's '''passenger lists''' collected at the port of entry.
