Hello -- I am wondering if you have any information on Daniel Shively, born 1810 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. I have found the post you wrote about his son, Solomon Shively, but am wondering if you have any idea which Shively tree Daniel connects to? I am directly descended from Daniel, and would love to find the correct connection. Also, if my father (a male Shively) did the DNA swabbing for Ancestry, is that information what could be helpful for the Shively DNA project? Thank you! Kristin (Shively) Taylor
ReplyDeleteKristin---I have worked on many segments of the different Shively lines. I would very much encourage your father's participation in the FamilyTree Shively DNA project. The project has been very successful for our Shively lines because the paper trails could not prove our relationships. I can not be sure but I might guess that your father's DNA might match some of the Shively's who have the Swiss Schaublin documentation.
ReplyDeleteHello Larry--
ReplyDeleteMy father is interested in participating, but we aren't sure of the best method. Do you suggest going through Ancestry DNA? Or do you have another suggestion?
Thank you!
Kristin (Shively) Taylor
Kristin -- I am co-administrator of the Shively DNA project at Family Tree DNA. I believe we may be up to 45 participants now. If you would send me an e-mail at amrun@aol.com I can give you more information. Thanks.
DeleteLarry, thank you. Looking to connect for Shively family genealogy and history. My Great-great grandfather was Joel Shively. He moved to the Iowa territory just before 1833.
