 Shirley
Family
DNA Project
 The Shirley Association has launched one of its
most important genealogical projects to date. DNA testing has
been proven to be an invaluable genealogical tool and the Shirley
Association has jumped into the latest technology with both feet.
We are hoping to use this technology to connect the many unconnected
Shirley branches from all over the world. Testing is open to
all males with the Shirley surname.

DNA Test Results
Shirley family DNA test samples have been analyzed
by the lab and results have been categorized by Haplogroup. This
analysis allows researchers to place test participants into specific
ancient cultures which civilized the European continent thousands
of years ago. Shirley family branches which belong to one particular
haplogroup are not related to branches in other groups.
Shirleys in Haplogroup: I, I2b
Shirleys in Haplogroup: R1a,
R1b, R1b1
Shirleys in Haplogroup: E1b1b1New haplo distinction |
