Julia was the d/o Solomon M. SHIREY & Mary (ALSBACH), and was born in Michigan. However, her folks moved from there to LaPlata, Missouri. [Solomon was my Great-Great Uncle] Julia along with other siblings ended up in California. However, the SHIREY'S were all over the place - from Missouri to Montana, from there to Coeur 'd Alene, Idaho, from there to Orting, Washington, from there Solomon died in a Military Home in L. A. where he's buried in California. Some of the children lived in Fresno & Stanislaus Counties, CA. I'm just finding out. Any connections? Per chance in a "blue moon" is there any connections and do you have further information on the family? I just found this data within the last few days so have nothing on their family which I wouldn't mind finding.
