[S44] Dennis S. Shirer Personal and Family Research, Dennis S. Shirer, e-mail address. I have been interested in genealogy all my life always listening intently to my mother's and grandparent's tales of the old days. I have been seriously searching for maybe the last ten. Too many other interests were getting in the way. Since the internet has become such a powerful tool for researching I have begun my search in earnest and now have a vary large database of Shirer ancestors and descendants.

My strength lies in finding data and coordinating efforts by many people. This web site is a culmination of that cooperation. and will continue to mine the efforts of those willing to share their data for the benefit of others.

I attended St. Joseph's College of Indiana (in Rensselaer) for my BA in Social Studies Education, and got my MA in Modern European History from Purdue University. I enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1973 and retired after 20 years of service as a non-commissioned officer (field artillery and military intelligence) and as a commisioned officer (military intelligence). Since retirement I've been employed by the Army as declassifying both Gulf War and pre-1975 historical army records. I am currently a historian with the U.S. Army Center of Military History at Ft. McNair, Washington, DC. I live in Ft. Washington, Maryland. I am married and have 2 daughters, Lindsey Victoria (b. April 1, 1984, 97th General Hospital, Frankfurt am Main, Germany) and Sarah Elizabeth Lucille (b. July 27, 1988, Malcom Grow Hospital, Andrews Air Force Base, Camp Springs, Maryland).
