Over at our Family Tree Firsts blog, newbie genealogist Nancy Shively (who you may
recall was
selected last November to blog about her research experiences) can’t stop thinking
about Michael, born in 1807, the oldest Shively on her tree. Information-wise, he
still remains stubbornly out of reach.

Read
about two neighboring Indiana land patents and other clues Nancy has found to the
mysterious Michael’s whereabouts.

Also, Nancy
mentions a Cincinnati connection that clicked for me—I wonder if a local park
called LaBoiteaux Woods is
named for the family of Michael’s first wife, Keziah Laboyteaux?
