people,
I guess the subject is kinda vague & somewhat misleading, as I really =
don't have much family history to share. gotta admit, for most of my =
life, I wasn't really concerned about it. as I grow older, it seems, =
somehow, not just more important, but very important, to find out about =
my roots, as these are the roots MY children will, one day, want to =
touch & know.
my name is robert earl shelby, b. 2 sept 1947, in cincinnati, oh.
my father was clifford charles (buck) shelby, sr. b. 7 jul 1909 or 1910, =
in cincinnati, d. 10 jun 1985 in monroe, oh.
my mother was lakiebird (mitchell) shelby, b. 10 oct 1921, in =
parkersburg wv. d. 9 jun 1985 in monroe oh. both of my parents are =
buried in arlington cemetary, mt healthy, oh.
my paternal grandparents were martin shelby & anna (karl) shelby. they =
both died during my early childhood, & I know little about either, =
except that they lived & died in cincinnati, & that my grandmother was =
either all or part indian. this was mentioned a number of times during =
my childhood, but I never bothered to nail down a complete story.
my maternal grandparents were isaac oda (sp) mitchell & cora (bush) =
mitchell. they were married in wv prior, I believe, to WWI, & moved to =
cincinnati in the very early 30's. Both lived their later years & died =
in maud, oh. I have no specific knowledge of dates or places of burial =
for any of my grandparents. although my mother was at least in contact =
with her siblings, my father, for reasons never made clear to me, rarely =
spoke to or spoke off his siblings. my mother's siblings, all born in wv =
before the depression, & living in southwest oh after WWII, were james =
mitchell, earl mithell, junior arly mitchell & laura (mitchell) lavely. =
if she had other siblings, I'm not aware of them. I'm a good deal less =
certain of my father's siblings. these names I do know: virgil shelby, =
earl shelby, margeret shelby, hazel (shelby) fife & virginia shelby. all =
were born in cincinnati prior to WWI, & lived their lives there. to the =
best of my knowledge, all of these have passed away, but I have no =
certain dates.
I had three brothers, all born in cincinnati.
lawrence edward shelby b. 22 aug 1946 d. ? nov 1996; clifford charles =
(chuck) shelby, jr b. 14 may 1949; & joseph lee shelby b. 9 may 1954 d. =
? oct 2000 - for whatever reason, I cannot recall the exact dates of my =
brothers deaths........
but, that is what I know of my family's history. I know I've tossed in a =
lot of stuff that may be meaningless, as well as left a lot of holes =
that may be critical, but I'm hoping some of what I've shared will =
strike a chord with another member of the shelby family. feel free to =
contact me.
thanx,
robb shelby
