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.

Norborn Toliver Sigmon VA Death Certificate
The Shively families doing research on Daniel and Catharine Shively in Franklin County, Virginia are looking for any information on daughter, Sarah Shively. Documentation that lists the maiden name of Sarah's mother, Catharine, is desired. 
What is known is that Sarah Shively married Norborn T. Sigmon in Franklin County, Virginia on 19-Jul-1855.  Norborn was the son of Joseph Sigmon and Elizabeth Willis.  In the records the first name Norborn is also listed as Norman and the surname Sigmon is enterchanged with Sigman.
