WANTED
Seeking Next
President/Leader of the Shirley Association
1. Preferably a resident
of England/Ireland (it's time for an English/Irish-led Association)
2. The new person/committee
must have a demonstrated long term interest in genealogy, particularly
of the Shirley surname
3. It's probably time
for a more "social" Shirley Association "clan"
operation. I'm a pure research-nerd. Time for a change in direction
after 17 years.
Note: I can hang around
as a volunteer to assist the next president, run the website,
assist with family lineage queries if so desired. Easy peasy.
Contact me if interested

I'M STILL
HERE - Just to let you
know, I'm still here answering Shirley research queries from
emailers. I also periodically find little research items that
I post to various parts of the website. In the past I would also
post them here as a head's-up, but single items (which is all
I basically find these days) are rarely earth shattering and
genealogy wall-breaking. In fact, they never are these days.
If something important comes along, I'll definitely post it here
I also continue to update and
renovate various old Shirley lineages posted in the Non-Member's
section of the website. We have 100s of Shirley lineages to manage.
So it's a big effort, taking years.
In the meantime, continue to
send your Shirley research queries using my email address found
in "Contact Information" above (or at the bottom of
every page)
ps. Our Shirley website webhost
recently jacked our renewal price, so I moved this entire website
to a different host - but that was a big mistake - immediately
cancelled and returned to the old webhost, and paid their higher
price. The process was miserable and took days upon days. One
thing is clear. This entire website of 14,000 files needs a deep
clean of 25 years of accumulated junk, loads of orphaned files,
unused patches and fixes, unused database program folders etc.
.
A
Year's worth of postings are now moved to the member's section
- currently unavailable to view, sorry. We are still trying to
figure our long term strategy, what to do, etc.
