I'm sorry I don't have any proof.One of my sources is a September 24, 1964 article in The Shively Newsweek, written by Marion Ochs, who was editor at the time.I understand from city records that Mrs. Ochs used information from History of Shively by Karen Bradley.I know nothing of Ms. Bradley.I went to the Filson Club and got a copy of the survey of Christian Shively's 1000 acres but it does not give his place of birth.Another old family in the area is the Farnsleys.A descendant, Douglass Farnsley, is an attorney with Stites & Harbison in Louisville.He is interested in his family's history.I don't know whether he has any knowledge of Shively family history.I understand your frustration.My family has found conflicting information about an ancestor's country of birth.
