I never pursued my interest until my adult age. I would ask my Grandma Pat about her family and the Frost Family and where she came from many times and remember that she also gave me different answers. She told me that she had a twin sister and a brother who died in World War I. She also mentioned that she was born in Dublin, Ireland. I was naïve about her creditability. When I received “The Frost Family” book from my Great Aunt Elsie Frost is when I discovered that my Grandmother was known as Della and not Patricia.The latter part of 2001 I went to Denver, Colorado to see the professional San Diego Gulls Ice Hockey Game and was able search my Grandparents marriage license. It wasn’t until then that my Grandparents did not get married until after the birth of my father and Uncle Clinton! Grandfather Walter Frost was married first to Dora L. Clark 1906. I was not able to get a copy of Uncle Clinton’s birth certificate because I did not provide the correct name of the mother and the birth date I was provided was incorrect!? Mysteries continue to lurk in the closets?
My mother’s family Kanoho Kawai from the Hawaiian Islands presented an even bigger challenge as many of the records were recorded in chants and not recorded on paper until long after the missionaries arrived.
My mother, older brother and myself are Pearl Harbor Survivors.
My mahalo goes out to my second cousin Margaret E. Frost and Luella Frost Heston, who have helped provide information and taking me to the many cemeteries and family homesteads. Without her help none of this would be possible.view less
