My last name has numerous spellings & misspellings.  

A few years ago, when Ancestry.com offered free searches, I found my great-great-grandfather's ship record showing he came to the U.S. from Ireland, but I lost the info when my computer blew out & was never able to find it again.  His first name was listed as "Jothen," although I'd always been told it was Jonathan.   

As they're currently offering free searches for Irish ancestors, a name closest to the spelling I'm familiar with is listed as James John SHEKELS.  It is a death record, saying he died in Castlebar at age 3, in the Jan./Feb./Mar. 1984 time-frame.  

If anyone here is familar with this last name-  with any spelling variation- I'd appreciate it very much if you'd post or contact me directly.  I'd love to learn about my family history-  and it would be really great to find living relatives.  

 

Thank you!!!
