Use 5,000 NW miles for roundtrip Hawaii interisland travel on Hawaiian Airlines - I found this to be the best use for my orphaned NW miles.

Or 10K for a one-way upgrade, fare depending.

My parents used to have around 19000 miles each. I thought that was useless. Later I could redeem those miles for BKK-NRT trip, which requires 20000 miles with 1500 discount is booking is made online.

Combining Orphan Miles
I have 40,822 Miles on America West their award chart says I can redeem them for NW travel
I have 322,326 on Continental and building
Both web sites indicate the miles can be used on Northwest
Suppose I ould locate an award at 60,000 miles can I use up the remaining balance in my America account and compete the transaction with 19178 Continental miles ?

No, you won't be able to do this.
HP/CO actually reimbursts NW (not necessarily in cash) for awards.
