In
May 2022 - The Shirley Association was contacted by a man in
Texas who had rescued a beautiful photo album at an antique store,
filled with pictures of Shirleys (later identified as from Branch
7, this lineage below). I contacted a known descendant, Deborah
C., who took possession of the album and digitized many of the
key photos, contacted others, then made the key images available
to the Shirley Association - all posted below
