What I have found is this as to "George Shaver" along with the relationship on our side. George W. Shaver b.12 Dec 1844 d.2 Jan.1919, son of Heinrich Shaver and Malinda Funk. George W. Shaver married Amanda Jane Watkins b.1851 d.1880 m. 21 Oct. 1869. They had four children however only three seem to be listed on several records. The children were: Thomas Shave b.7 Jan 1870, Cora Amanda Shaver b.18 Jun 1871, Anna Jane Shaver b. 14 Apr. 1874 and Acanthus Alanthus Bard Shaver b. 20 Apr. 1875 d.5 Nov. 1930. m. Rebecca Ellen Lantz b.1882 d.1929. Between them they had 15 children among them Genevieve Merle Shaver b.22 Mar.1919. who later married Asa Nordeck b.1901 d.1966. Marriage was in 1936 I'm not sure if this helps you or not however does all seem to tie in as to "George Shaver" and the Nordeck side of the family. If you try to research the children of Acanthus Alanthus Bard Shaver and Rebecca Ellen Lantz, their 15 children it really gets detailed and spread out.
