    Notes:

    The modern Shields family had its origin in the antiquity of the Emerald Isles
    many generations before the existence of William Shields. The surname is an
    Anglicized version of Siadhail, a family that was transplanted from the
    European mainland perhaps as early as 1000 years before Christ. Members of the
    Siadhail sept went northward from Meath into Ulster relatively late in Irish
    History. The family presence in the Ulster area is evident before the Norman
    Conquest of 1066.
