First of all koreans don't use 내, when korean people introduce their family or group member. Because korean culture is based on Confucianism, the value of 'us' is highly emphasized.
내 아버지가 오셨어 (x) / 내 아버지 왔어 (x) / 내 아버지 왔셨어 (x) > There is nothing like 왔셨어 in Korean.
우리 아버지께서 오셨어. / (우리) 아버지께서 오셨어 (o)
Also when you talking about your family member, who's age is older than you, you have to use polite form.
이분은 저의 엄마이세요 (x)
이분은 제 어머니세요. (o)
셔요 and 세요 are both correct.
But ~셔요 is dead word. Back in the 80's koreans use that word but it's replaced with ~세요
선생님, 어디 가셔요?* (no longer used)
선생님, 어디 가세요? (o)
