Shemar is the son of Marilyn and Franklin Sherrod Moore. His father was African-American. His mother, who was from Boston, was of half Irish and half French-Canadian descent, including distant Belgian Walloon. As a child, he lived abroad with his mother, then settling in Chico, California. He spent most of his youth in Northern California. He has a daughter with his partner Jesiree Dizon.
Shemar’s maternal grandfather was Herbert Joseph Wilson (the son of William O. Wilson and Mary A. Shea). Herbert was born in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, to Canadian parents, and was of Irish descent. William was born in New Brunswick, the son of Nelson Wilson and Catherine Burns. Mary was born in Newfoundland, the daughter of Michael Shea, whose father was born in Ireland, and of Catherine Devine, whose parents were also Irish.
Shemar’s maternal grandmother was Marie Leona Falardeau (the daughter of Joseph Narcisse Falardeau and Marie Anna Letitia Maillot). Shemar’s grandmother Marie was born in St-Didace, Québec, Canada, and was French-Canadian. Joseph Narcisse was the son of Narcisse Falardeau and Hermine/Hermina Latour-Laforge. Shemar’s great-grandmother Marie Anna was the daughter of Jerome Maillot/Mailhot/Maillotte and Marie Louise Coutu.
Shemar’s matrilineal line can be traced to Anne Michel, who was born, c. 1648.
