African-American Shirley Email Inqueries
August 20th, 2006
Today I heard from Fannie about ordering the book for the Jamaican Shirleys. After asking a few questions, I realized her family is not connected to the Shirleys of Jamaica and emailed to let her know. In her response, she said she had a story to share and would be in contact.

My father's first name was Marion as is my brother's first name. The problem is we do not know his last name. Barnes was the last name of one of the persons, a relative who reared him among others he also lived with. He also once went by Harris since he lived also with Harrises, who were grandparents. The homes he lived in were in Hart County GA. My parents were married in Hartwell GA in 1930.
