The Shively genealogy researchers are asking for help from the Scheiblen (Scheiblin) families. A request goes out to the Scheiblen (Scheiblin) male members to ask if they would be willing to participate in the Shively Family DNA project. The reason for this request follows as this weeks blog article.
One line of the Shively's descend from established research that has the earliest known ancestor as Michael Shively born 1718 in Eybach, Wurttemberg, Germany. It has been discovered in the Protestant church records In Eybach that the Shively family records there are found under the surname Scheiblen. Johann Michael Scheiblen was born 9-Aug-1718 and was the son of Johann Wilhelm Scheiblen and Barbara Buhrler. Johann Wilhelm Scheiblen and Barbara Buhrler were married on 25-Jul-1715. Johann Wilhelm was the son of Johannis Scheiblen and Ursulae Dauner. She was the daughter of Michael Buhrler and Magdalena. Johann Wilhem Scheiblen and Barbara Buhrler had another son Johannes Scheiblen who was born 6-Oct-1720. It appears that Barbara Buhrler Scheiblen died on 14-Oct-1721. Johann Wilhelm Scheiblen married a second time on 27-Jan-1722 to Ursula Kuhnlen who was the daughter of Johannis Kuhnlen and Mariae Schiller. From previous research it has been written that Michael Shively came to America in 1738. The Shivelys are hoping that a Scheiblin (Scheiblen) family member will participate in the Shively Family DNA project to see if there is an established relationship between the two surnames.
The Scheiblin (Scheiblen) surname in the US is not that common. The surnames are seemingly used interchanged in the records found in Huntington County, IN records. The surname also is found in New Jersey records. From research done for this article the family

The following from the Delphos (Ohio) Herald relates facts of interest concerning a former Huntington resident who died in Delphos.
Death came to Frederick Scheiblin at the home of his daughter, Mrs. George B. Richdson, on East Fourth street, Sunday afternoon, the culmination of a long illness. Last April Mr. Scheiblin was stricken with apoplexy, from which he never fully recovered. He was also a sufferer from dropsy and a few weeks ago a complication of diseases developed and he had gradually been growing weaker. It was realized that his strength was waning and that the end was nearing and loved ones were constantly with him to give him comfort and care. Mr. Scheiblin's death came at 4:45 o'clock Sunday afternoon, bringing a long life to a close. For the past three years Mr. Scheiblin had made his home with Mr. and Mrs. Richason, on East Fourth street.
Frederick Scheiblin was born in Feldberg, Baden, Germany, February 15, 1839, and was passed 74 years of age at the time of his death. When he was eight years of age he came to America with his parents, the family locating at Huntington, Ind. Nearly his entire life was spent in Huntington and vicinity, there he grew from boyhood to young manhood, married and established his home. He was employed as a bricklayer for many years but for the last fifteen years had done no active service. In 1898 he received a fall which incapacitated him for active labor, and he had since lived a retired life.
Mr. Scheiblin was united in marriage to Mary B. Foshee, in Huntington, Ind. March 6, 1864. To this union were born five children, three of whom died in infancy. Two daughters, Mrs. George Richason and Mrs. Martha Davis, of Delphos and one son John Foshee of Huntington, Ind., are survivning. Eight grand children and two great grandchildren are also living. Mrs. Scheiblin passed to the better world 21 years ago on March 21.
During the Civil war Mr. Scheiblin served his country three years as a member Thirty-second Indiana Volunteer infantry. At the expiration of three years' service he was honorably discharged.
Mr. Scheiblin was confirmed in the German Lutheran church in Huntington, Ind., in his young days and was affiliated with that church attending services there as long as his health permitted. During his long illness his sufferings were intense, but he bore them with remarkable fortitude and was ready and willing to answer the summons of the death angel and enter into rest. He was ever cheerful to those about him during his illness and very considerate. His life work has now been ended and he has been summoned to receive the reward for a life well spent.
The funeral was held from the residence Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, conducted by Rev. L. H. Cressley, of the M. E. church and interment made in West side cemetery.
