Prior to launching the Shirley
Association website in 1998, all genealogical information was
available only to subscribing members via newsletter. But since
1998, the Shirley Association has provided access online to its
research archive at no cost to the general public. As a result,
membership in the Shirley Association has dwindled. Please understand
that the Shirley Association is not a profitable venture. In
fact, it is largely otherwise. We would like to plan for the
future and make the Association as strong as it can be, so we
are now once again restricting much of the research data to paid
members of the Association. We hope you will join in supporting
our research efforts. It's only $20 per year.
