I was born in South Africa, both sides of my parents' family are from Latvia, though they arrived in South Africa at different times. Both sides have the same last name of "eliastam" but my maternal side is from Riga with my mother arriving in South Africa in 1929/30, and my paternal side is from Mittau and Libau, with my grandfather arriving in the late 1800's. After completing medical school in Johannesburg I emigrated to the USA, and became a specialist in internal medicine and emergency medicine. I have served on the faculty at Stanford and Boston University, had extensive hospital management experience, plus worked for Accenture and several healthcare business companies. My interest in Jewish genealogy started about 4 years ago when I was able to take my two younger children to Latvia and Israel. My major goal as President of the Latvia SIG is to encourage our children to take an interest in their ancestral heritage.
