Other SHY/SHI/SHYE family researchers and I have collectively worked to historically link the main branches of the SHY/SHYE/SHI family in AL, GA, NC, and VA, and to follow the family's migration into AL,KY,IL,MO,OH,PA,TN,TX,& WV. Some of the information available dates to the 1700s. In the interest of learning more about the SHY/SHYE/SHI families and those related, I would be most interested in sharing information.

Prior postings of this page have received many contacts and I'm hoping that this "refreshed" page will produce even more. All inquiries are responded to.

Please enjoy the SHY/SHYE/SHI family history provided here, check out the reference data and I hope we can collectively share information which builds on the family's history.
