Shiels Coat of Arms, Family Crest and Shiels Family History
Shiels Family History
The names Shiels and Shields in Ireland both derive from the native Gaelic O'Siadhail Sept that was located in Donegal, Down and Offaly. It is in these Counties that the majority of descendants can still be found. The Sept was renowned for their skill as physicians.
A Sept is an ancient Clan-like collective describing a group of persons whose immediate ancestors bore a common surname and inhabited the same territory.
