This site was created by Larry Shively who is researching the history of the Shively families. The goal is to have a site where all Shively researchers can share and ask questions in regards to their Shively lines. The largest majority of the Shively family records are located in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. There are early records of Shively's also in Virginia and Kentucky. There are not many established Shively lineages back to Europe. There are documented lineages to Switzerland and Germany. Through the sharing of information from all of our research it is desired that all can learn about our Shively families.

  1. I am a descendant of Daniel Armbrust's brother, Adam Armbrust, and his wife Caroline Scheidt. They were married in 1874, had a daughter, Katherine, in 1875 and in 1876 Adam was burned at the WERK Co. when a vat of boiling fat spilled on his head. From that time until his death in 1890 he was rather incapacitated. There is a court case that is in some state law journals regarding Adam's case against his employer. I hope to hear from you.. gregg.socal@hotmail.com Gregg Leeser

  2. I also forgot to mention that the Armbrust family was from Hassloch, Bayerische Rheinpfalz.

    Also, I have seen Sopia's maiden name as Gerbig

  3. Sophia Gerbig was born Nov 5, 1841 in Erpolzheim, Kreis Bad Dürkheim, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany; daughter of Johann Georg Gerbig and Anna Maria Diehl.
    (that is the spelling of the maiden name unless her father spelled his signature incorrectly on all of the documents Also, in German, an 'e' almost always follows another vowel rather than preceding one as it is used to alter the other's pronunciation),
    Daniel Armbrust born February 8, 1838 at Haßloch, Kreis Bad Dürkheim, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany; son of Adam Marcus Armbrust and Anna Katharina Gramlich.

    Sophia traveled to the U.S. with her siblings, Christine and Charles (probably Karl) aboard the Germania from Havre to New York arriving April 5, 1859. They left shortly after their mother died. The father was still alive and remarried.
    If you don't want any more information, please have the courtesy to let me know.
