DNA Project
Shirley
DNA Testing
 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.
