"Keola is the eldest of my family."

Translation: ʻO Keola ka hiapo o koʻu ʻohana.

[RonRGB]

ʻohana = family

It has been given both 0-class and A-class. If we are talking about members of our family and the group includes persons in the O-class group, we should use koʻu or the appropriate O-class possessive.

On the other hand, if someone is talking about only his or her wife or husband and children kaʻu would be the appropriate form.

Is “ aia ka hiapo o ko'u 'ohana 'o keola” not acceptable?

[Graeme721848]

Answering my own question — aia is a locational marker and wrong in this question. It is an equational sentence that should begin with the ‘O.

[Mike421411]

Just a suggestion, but I don't think it's profitable to have two names that look alike that can be easily mistaken

[Graeme721848]

I get more mixed up with the he and she names but I’m learning. I recently noticed that some names have interesting roots or meanings should you wish to explore. For example Kawika translates as David!!

Keola is a star is Lana’i, or a street name in Honolulu, or best of all Hawaiian language game of Bingo! LOL.
