		Message Board Posted by Gail Shirley-Warren on July 21, 2000 at 12:12:01: I am looking for information on my Shirley ancestry. I am from one line of Black Shirley's living in Virginia. We have been here since the mid to late 1800s. We have very little information. My grandfather, Beverly Shirley b. (approx. 1895) in Virginia. Oral history states his father was also Beverly Shirley. My grandmother had indicated that she thought they came from Petersburg, VA, but so far no luck. Just looking for a starting place. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
