I am trying to find my family history, but unfortunately have no clue as to how to find legitimate connections. My great-grandmother was Bertha Shirley (born in 1895 died 1987?) I don't know where she was born, but I do know that she married Joe Montgomery and they lived for a spell in Glasgow, KY. As with most Shirley's that I've seen posted on here, we're rumored to be related to Myra Maybelle Shirley (Belle Starr) I also faintly remember my grandmother telling me about our family having had a seat in the English Parliament, but that may have been a story made up to entertain me as a child. Anybody with information, please help. It would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
