This is a family name found in Upstate NY in the late 1700s and today. There are variant spellings of the name, just as with other early surnames. Some of the early and later spellings of the name are SCHAGO, SCHAKO, TSCHAKO, SHAKO, SHAGO, CHAGO, CHAUGO, CHANGO, CHOUGO, CHOWGO, CHAWGO (and others no doubt!). This serves to illustrate that there can be many spellings ofo the same last name, so that the ancestor hunter needs to have some imagination and knowledge of possible other spellings. Good hunting.
