Origins of the Mathers family
Eminem’s roots can be found in Scandinavia through his mother Debbie Nelson and in South Wales through his father Marshall Bruce Mathers II.
But Eminem has mostly Scottish blood running through his veins. On both sides (maternal and paternal sides), Scottish roots can be found.
Returning to the seventh generation on his father’s side, Peter Mathers of Pennsylvania married a Scottish woman named Isabella (last name unknown). On the mother’s side, the Scottish roots are found in the Marshall family in the 6th generation: Ailsa McAllister from Edinburgh immigrated to the United States – precisely to New York in 1870.
Most of the Mathers have been working as farmers in the state of Missouri.
Marshall Mathers I, Eminem’s paternal grandfather, has been working as an assistant hotel manager at the Plainsman Hotel in st Joseph Missouri and his wife Rae has worked at the Del Cornonado hotel in guest services.
When Eminem’s paternal grandmother, Rae, recently died in 2002 from Alzheimer’s disease, Marshall Mathers II discovered interesting documents related to his famous son, such as a Christmas card from Marshall addressed to his grandmother Rae. Etymology of the name Mathers Mathers means mower or reaper. History of the name Mathers
