Shirey - Shira - Schirah spelling variations:
In researching my Mother's SHIREY roots and branches, I have found a number of entries with SHIRA and/or SCHIRAH spelling. This has been especially noted on census records, the obvious reason being that census takers often write the name as they hear it.My GGGF DANIEL SHIREY of Clay County, AL was recently found "hidden" in census and military records as DANIEL SHIRA. While I may be "preaching to the choir", I felt that this tid-bit might be useful to someone.HAPPY TRAILS!
