Thanks so much for the lead. I found exactly what I needed.
I am so excited. There are atleast Four Francis Marion Livelys all over the south but from different families. It was very confusing. I am confident I have the right line now.
Thanks again.

Livelyroots has listed Anderson Lively as your ancestors father for many years. Have you ever been to that site? Just google your "Francis Marion LIVELY" and you should get to the site easily. I believe the information they have came from "The Lively's of America".

The National Association of Lively Families website has returned @ livelyfamilies.org.
Under the newsletter section you will find addresses for our secretary and treasurer. To order books please contact the new treasurer listed in the winter 2012 newsletter. There you will also find information on our Reunion planned for this year.
The spring 2011 newsletter also talks about the plans for the original "Livelys of America" book being converted to disk form. You will also find a facebook page listed.

How do I go about purchasing the book from the organization?

The original book contains family names up to my mother and Uncle. My Great-great grandfather was James H. Lively, who supplied the foundation for the original book. I have a transcribed copy of the original papers that were held by my grandfather. But, I need information from the book to help validate my application to DAR.

Please send me information and contact to the organization so that I may purchase, communicate and possibly join the organization.
thanks,
B. Brown

The National Lively Families Association is doing well and will meet in St. Simon's Island Ga this July 20-22nd. Unfortunately our Webmaster died suddenly just as the site was to be updated and no one had his password. We plan to re-instate the site soon. The third book (called the second suppliment) can still be purchased from the organization.

Re: Anyone with a copy of "Livelys of America"?

bhayesbr1 — 2011-10-31 22:59:28Z

Thank you. That helps a lot.

I don't know if anyone in my family ended up with any of the information. I have an uncle and 2nd cousin that have taken over where my grandfather and another uncle stopped before they passed away.

It appears from DAR & SAR records that this is one of the lines that has not ever applied for admission in the organizations. Therefore,it is going to be essential for me to prove my line to Cottrell.

James H Lively died in Nebraska, I have a photo of his headstone on my tree. He is buried near Melsina, William and my grandparents.

thanks again, Brenda

It worked? Oh I'm glad - earthlink gave me a mean message lol

Re: Anyone with a copy of "Livelys of America"?

SocketTome — 2011-10-30 20:19:45Z

The email came through anyway -- and I have added you to my address book. Thanks again! I'm really excited to have found someone with a copy of this book.

Re: Anyone with a copy of "Livelys of America"?

SocketTome — 2011-10-30 20:18:02Z

Got the copies -- thank you very much (you saved me a long drive into town to visit the library)!!! A year of death was listed for Nathan Taylor, which is helpful because we have been unable to locate a death or burial record on him. Obviously something exists somewhere since the author had the date, so we will have to keep digging.

Thanks again for your help -- very much appreciated!

Re: Anyone with a copy of "Livelys of America"?

Cousin, your earthlink address is refusing me, as I am not on your "approved" list :(

Re: Anyone with a copy of "Livelys of America"?

benadmin — 2011-10-30 20:11:29Z

Page 462 of Livelys of America has your James & Mary Ann Forrest on it, showing Melsena b. 18 May 1870 and married William Naysmith.

There may be a clue here for you also:

"James H. Lively lived lastly at Gas City, Grant, Indiana. James H. materially added to the genealogy of Cotrell Lively decendants when he gathered a considerable number of Lively records in the early 1900s and compiled this information in manuscript form. This has been widely used in compiling this genealogy.
~~~~

I'd get in touch with Grant County, Indiana if I were you. The townseat is in Marion - I know because my mom used to live up that way :)

Re: Anyone with a copy of "Livelys of America"?

It doesnt seem that there's much on this page of help, but I've scanned 309 and 310, and they're on the way :)

Re: Anyone with a copy of "Livelys of America"?

bhayesbr1 — 2011-10-30 17:22:18Z

But what happened to the National Assoc. of Lively Families?

Does anyone know? The Mormon records show that there was a newsletter put out this spring by the organization, but the site is down and there is no information.

Be glad to send that page along - what email should I use?

Re: Anyone with a copy of "Livelys of America"?

SocketTome — 2011-10-30 15:23:05Z

Hi! I started this thread and never got the page copies someone offered to send.

I'm interested in page 309 of the book; here is what I posted at the start of the discussion:

"The page in question is pg. 309, for John Lively, b. 1790-1794. His wife was Milbra (Milberry) James, b. abt 1800."

I'm particularly interested in anything they mention about Milbra/Milberry. Her second husband was Nathan Taylor, my ggg-grandfather. When I found the marriage record for them (Nathan and Milbra/Milberry), we didn't know there had been a 3rd marriage for Nathan. Hence I'm curious to see what, if anything, is mentioned about them.

Thanks for your help! If there are lots of pages to scan, I learned from another of your posts here that I'm blessed with a local library having a copy of the book -- just need to find the time to get there (I work full-time and the library isn't open when I'm off).

Re: Anyone with a copy of "Livelys of America"?

benadmin — 2011-10-30 12:53:19Z

For anyone looking, copies may be found at these libraries:

http://www.worldcat.org/title/livelys-of-america-1690-1968/o...

Also the 2nd Supplement to Livelys of America is SOMEWHAT online here http://books.google.com/books/about/Second_supplement_to_Liv... You can't actually read the book, but there is a "search" capability.

Re: Anyone with a copy of "Livelys of America"?

benadmin — 2011-10-30 12:35:05Z

Actually, Brenda, if you go to your local library and speak with the librarian there, they should be able to locate a copy for you anywhere in the United States. Your library would contact the library in Anywhere, USA and they would mail the actual copy of the book to your local library and voila! You will have it within your very hands :) I know for a fact that the DAR Library in Washington, DC has at least one copy Washington, DC as that's the first place I saw the book.

Oh, I should also say that by "local library" I mean ANY public library. It doesnt have to be a Family History library or other genealogical one :)

Re: Anyone with a copy of "Livelys of America"?

benadmin — 2011-10-30 12:31:49Z

Can you give a bit more information, like which state are we talking about and rough time period? This book does NOT have an index, and there are many many Johns, James, Reubens & Williams lol.

Re: Anyone with a copy of "Livelys of America"?

bhayesbr1 — 2011-10-30 04:55:03Z

Can you do a quick look up of names in the list to look for the surname Naysmith.

My Great-Grandmother was Melsina Lively Naysmith. Her father was J H (James H.) Lively.

I believe it is listed, but there is nothing posted on the boards. Apparently we are a "quite line" of the Lively Family ;-)
Thanks, Brenda

Re: Anyone with a copy of "Livelys of America"?

bhayesbr1 — 2011-10-30 04:42:05Z

Thanks.

I live in Orlando....haven't been able to locate a copy at local library.
I may know of someone who has a copy, but not sure they will let it out their hands. (I don't blame them).

To bad this has not been copied to a CD....so that more could have the information.

Does anyone know what happened to the NAFL group. Latter Day Church site shows that their was a Spring 2011 newsletter, but site is down and no further information.

Thanks again, Brenda

Re: Anyone with a copy of "Livelys of America"?

benadmin — 2011-10-30 03:05:18Z

I have a copy of it, but the book is 830+ pages. I double-checked really quick and the Cottrell section of the book runs around 300 pages alone.

I think that the interlibrary loan is the best way to go, otherwise I'd be happy to help.

Happy to do quick lookups :)

Re: Anyone with a copy of "Livelys of America"?

naturalbalanceconcepts — 2011-10-29 23:10:22Z

You may be able to do an interlibrary loan possibly on the books from a library in the Randolph County area of Illinois.
I took some photos on my recent trip. But it is about 100 pages... so it's a problem to send all of that.

Re: Anyone with a copy of "Livelys of America"?

bhayesbr1 — 2011-10-29 20:45:07Z

What did happen to the Lively Family website and group?

Genealogy.com indicated that Copies or supplements can be ordered from Russell Lively in Ringgold, GA. Russell was the Treasurer of NALF.

At that time is was said that John A. Lively was President of the Association.
Does anyone know what happened?

Also, I am looking for information (Albeit scanned pages from the book) on my line that starts with Cottrell to Joseph to Loammi to JH (James Higgens) to Melsina Lively Naysmith to Victor Vernon Naysmith to Norma Naysmith.

It is my understanding that all are named in the book. I need the verification for a DAR application.
Thanks Brenda

George Albert Lively 1873 -

trilla3 — 2011-10-27 02:41:33Z

I posted about 12 years ago about this, but thought I'd start a new thread with new information. Maybe someone out there is looking for the same thing?

George Albert Lively, born 1873 in Randolph County, Illinois, USA. Parents are William and Luvisa (Burton) Lively.

In 1910, the census has him working in a logging camp in Getchell, Washington. In 1916, he crossed the border into Canada. The record states that he was a farmer from Spokane, WA, and was headed to Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. In 1920, he crossed the border into Canada again. This time to British Columbia and headed to Calgary, Alberta. It still lists him as a farmer from Spokane, and gives a reason for going to Canada...but I can't decipher the writing.

This is the most recent record I have found. I would love to know if he married...had children...when he died... where he died, etc. George is a Great-Great Uncle of mine.

Re: George W. Lively...GA

lks_friday — 2011-09-27 13:22:21Z

I think this George W. Lively was Mayor of the City of Houston. Does anyone have any information on his death / burial?

Re: Anyone with a copy of "Livelys of America"?

lynnesawyer40 — 2011-09-26 16:41:49Z

I am looking for George Thomas Lively's Line. does anyone have the Lively book with information on that line? George was my ggg-grandpa. His son was William E. Lively(who married Goldie), Their son was William E. Lively Jr.(Who married Francis Mea Gibbs) and their son was Charles Richard Lively(my grandfather). If anyone has some pages with information on my Lively line, would you let me know then I will give you my email and you can email it to me... Thank you in advance.....Lynne

Re: Anyone with a copy of "Livelys of America"?

naturalbalanceconcepts — 2011-09-24 19:17:44Z

I went to the library there in Randolph County where I found a copy of this book. I may have a photo(have to check) from that trip on my genealogy vacation. If I do I will send it. The Lively Family website for some reason was not renewed and the family isn't meeting anymore evidently. That book is going to be RARE. I've called and emailed that family to try and get a copy to no avail. The only copies I'm aware of with public access is in the surrounding libraries. I'm trying to remember which library I went to as I went to half a dozen. When I found it, I took photos of about 100 pages for my personal records. Simply because I can't find the book. You might could get the book on interlibrary loan!!!! I would do so if I were you. It is chocked full of details. There is also a video done on PBS of the "Lively Massacre" which has some interesting details. Simply google it and you should find it.

Re: Lively - Cherokee name?

ChiefHudgens — 2011-09-20 18:15:17Z

My grt grandmother's maiden name was Anglin. Her mother's name was Laura Jane Lively. I have a photo of her where on the back it says "Was on the Trail of Tears". I have no other documentation that proves indian blood on the Lively name. Do you?

Joseph and Elvira Lively's daughter Sarah J

davidfite1978 — 2011-09-13 01:08:38Z

Looking for info on Sarah J Lively born abt 1782. Everyone on ancestry says she's the same Sarah "sallie" lively that I have in my tree (married Robert Blevins in KY). I am looking for documentation proving they are the same people. So far the only thing I see on the Joseph Vincent Lively family is the 1880 census.

Thanks in advance. davidfite1978@gmail.com

Re: John Lively brother Samuel "Edgar" Lively of WV>CA

cmlwd62 — 2011-07-25 04:19:24Z

Samuel Edgar Lively was my Great Grandfather. His son, Charles Thomas Lively was my Grandfather and married Ittle Ellen Shafer. Clarence was the brother that lived in Piney View. His wife's name was Betty. I remember my Mother and grandparents talking about Uncle John that lived in California. I have a couple of pictures of him and his farm in CA.

Re: George Frazier Lively B. March 8, 1859

cmlwd62 — 2011-07-25 04:07:12Z

My Grandfather, Charles Thomas Lively, I believe, was a cousin to Frazier Lively. My Great grandfather was Samuel Lively, married to Caroline Hughart and my Great-great grandfather was Caleb Lively.

Shadrock Lively

lynnesawyer40 — 2011-07-03 15:00:25Z

I am confussed, I traced my family line to Shadrock Lively who was born in 1770 and died in 1842. I have him married to a Frances Davis, but other research and trees have him married to Ruth Davis in 1810. I want to know if he was married to Ruth in 1810 or Frances in 1810. also, I am trying to find out about his parents, but the trees I find have he father's last name as being Davis. Anyone that can help me figure this out would be great. I am working on my tree with 2 cousins and 1 of my aunts so please help us out on finding more information about Shadrock's wife or wives as the case may be...thank you in advace....Lynne
