For the first time while searching the
census records it has been discovered that there is a record of one of the
Shively lines having a documented Native American lineage. The following record
is found on the 1900 Idaho census record in Nez Perce County and recorded on the Nez Perce
Reservation with a date of 4-June-1900:

From the 1910 census record for
Yellowstone County, Montana and Rosebud County, Montana there is a duplicate
record for Frank S. Shively. The Crow Reservation is found in both counties
hence the reason for duplicate entres. The Rosebud County entry was easier to
transcribe so this source is cited below:

The 1910 census record shows that
Frank S Shively and Lucy had been married for seven years. They had four children and all four
children are living in 1910.
Attempts were made to find more information on this wife and children
but at this time no other genealogy information could be found.
The Montana Crow Land Patents are a source
