The family tree of Shirley Cheryl Hamilton is explained in gory detail. Gerald Hamilton was at least born in February 1911, was for a long time a childhood friend to Effie, and worked at offices as a typewriter of folklore outside of his adopted childhood home for at least the majority of his life until dying at seventy seven in March 1988. His older brother was Ronald, who had a much shorter life and died at the age of 21 of tuberculosis.

In turn his adopted children Christopher 'Chippy' and Roger were the maternal grandchildren of infamous Mediterranean highway couple Pepe Le Moko and Dina Paunovic. Their birth mother Ness was the snorty and domineering spouse/muse of another morally ambiguous character, Werner Linkenhelt. The not entirely unsympathetic couple abandoned both sons at a rather fairly young age was an unexpected merger which still impacts on the family tree to this day.

Chippy became a cynical and rather boorishly homeless singleman until his now-wife Tomi fucked him and birthed him with four children, whilst Roger had a more drunk life with a part-native Siberian wife of his, Ekaterina, Shirl's mother. Both died in the La Mistas region of Tigora, in November 1977, when Shirl, who has the yellowish peach blonde hair of her father, was only about seven years old.
