[QUOTE="Björn Bergenholtz, post: 3322875, member: 113430"] I will put this in a separate thread even if it´s a close continuation on my earlier Thread [U][URL="http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=316139"][I]Gay's Elepaio[/I][/URL][/U] ... (simply to avoid losing focus, topics wandering in various directions) ;) Another ornithologist linked to the Sinclair family (thereby connected to Francis Gay) was the Norwegian naturalist [B]Valdemar Emil Knudsen[/B] ([U][B]18[COLOR="Blue"]19[/COLOR][/B][/U]–[B]1898[/B]), sugar cane plantation pioneer on west Kauai, Hawaii (among the Hawaiians a k a "[I]Kanuka[/I]") Apparently born "5 August 1819 in Kristiansand", Vest-Agder county, Southern Norway … arrived on Hawaii in the 1850's (exactly when varies, from source to source; 1853–1856) … more on him in [I]Wikipedia[/I], [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valdemar_Knudsen"][U]here[/U][/URL]. Looks fairly well researched, with several links onwards:Or [URL="http://www.geni.com/people/Waldemar-Emil-Knudsen/6000000019120308001"][U]here[/U][/URL]. This Valdemar Knudsen is commemorated in, for example: ● the Hawaiian Stilt [I]Himantopus [/I]([I]mexicanus[/I]) [I]knudseni [/I]STEJNEGER 1887 ([URL="http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/32314#page/95/mode/1up"][U]here[/U][/URL]) Compare with today's [I]HBW Alive Key[/I]: [B][COLOR="RoyalBlue"]Born in 1919 or 1922?
