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.

The following article was found in the Richmond Dispatch, Richmond, Virginia, Wednesday, March 12, 1873, Page 3, Column 2:
A little affray took place at Rocky Mount on Monday evening about dark, which resulted in a very serious if not fatal injury of one of the parties engaged. A very pestilent fellow named Hodges struck a young man by the name of Shively on the head with a four-pound weight. Shively has been delirious nearly ever since and now lies in an unconscious state. His physicians think it hardly probable that he can recover. Hodges has been arrested and lodged in jail. Public sentiment is very strong against Hodges, and he will doubtless be punished to the utmost that the law will allow.
