Hi I am Rosanna Shiels. My father is Alexander Shiels from Massey Ontario. He has been alot of places and knows alot of people. He passed on 9 years ago and I\'m looking on information about my family background. Any information would be useful thank you very much

My grandmother was Agnes C Shiel. Her grandfather came from Ireland.

Looking for more information on my family. My grand mothers father was
Thomas Washington Shiel and on the census records it said that his parents
were from Ireland. Thomas Shiel married Margaret A McCubbin. I am also
looking for the McCubbins. The family lived in Washington DC.

Any help would be welcome.

Yes, but not any of those mentioned

Prestonpans, East Lothian, Scotland

My 2nd cousin married William Shiels who was born in Dunfermline, Scotland on the 14 Jul 1875. He and Christina Glass Gage married on the 25 Jan 1918 in Kirkcaldy and emigrated to Grand Rapids Michigan via Canada. I know they had 5 children (one died as a baby in Kirkcaldy) but the others, David (b. 1918), Isabella b. 1920), Janet (b.1921), James (b.1923) were all born in Kirkcaldy, Fife and brought up in Michigan. If anyone can help trace any family members I would be grateful as I am holding a Colliar family reunion in Scotland in 2015 and it would be great to have more information on the different branches.
Take care

Thanks for all your time and effort on the Shiels family history. I thought it would be difficult to trace my paternal grandmother\'s family but you\'ve made easy.

I was so interested in reading your family history. You have done a great job. My husband is Brian Shiels and his ancester who came to Australia from Scotland is John Shiels, he came as a doctor and studied at the Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh Scotland. His father was Robert Shiels he grew up in Garelochhead 20 miles from Glasgow. I know one of John's family went to Canada to live but no name to give now. I'm not sure if your Shiels has a connection but there may be somewhere down the track.

yes

Dallas, Texas

My father was Eugene Francis Shiels, his brother(my uncle), was Robert Theophilus Shiels Jr. and my grandfather was Robert Theophilus Shiels Sr. R.T Shiels Sr. had several brothers and some settled in North Texas, Frank, Elliot, James and George? , I belive my great grandfather was James Shiels. I always heard the family came from around Galashiels Scotland. Can't verify this for certain without help.
