THIS IS A BREAKING STORY. CHECK BACK FOR UPDATES.

Alejandro Mayorkas was just nominated by Joe Biden to become the next Secretary of Homeland Security. Everyone's been asking me about his genealogy so here it is. He and his siblings went to my high school i.e. Beverly Hills High School, so I already had a little bit of a head start in research.

Alejandro "Ali" Nicholas Mayorkas was born November 24, 1959 in Havana, Cuba. His father was Charles "Nicky" Robert Mayorkas B: 18 Sep 1930 Habana, Habana, Cuba, D: Feb 2012 Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California, USA. His mother was Anita Ruth Gabor B: 8 Aug 1930 Bucarest, Romania, D:20 July 1997 Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California, USA. 

Alejandro Mayorkas' paternal grandparents were Morris Mayorkas B: 22 FEB 1897 Constantinople, Istanbul, Turkey D: 1976 Los Angeles, California a Jewish dry good merchant, rug seller and Jane Barth Mayorkas born January 27, 1900 Austria D: 1961 Cuba, a Jewish woman from Austria/Poland who became a Cuban citizen. His maternal grandparents were Michael Gabor B: 21 JUN 1897 Suceava, Bukovina, Romania D: 16 FEB 1979 Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California, USA and Charlotte Berger B: 7 JUN 1907 Hungary; Vaslui, Rumania, D: 8 JAN 1972 Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California, USA.

Alejandro Mayorkas siblings are Helena Cathy Mayorkas born 1960 in Cuba, James Bruce Mayorkas born 1964 in Los Angeles, California and Anthony David Mayorkas born 1969 in Los Angeles, California. 

Alejandro came with his family from Cuba in August 1960. His family left everything they owned including their business in Cuba. His father was a controller at Barth and Dreyfuss of California in Los Angeles, California. 

I don't mean to sound odd with this next bit. It's for clarification when people say "oh, he lived in Beverly Hills. He must be a gazillionaire." They lived in rental apartments south of Wilshire which is the cheaper area. That rent would only be a tiny bit more than Los Angeles. They didn't live in a mansion.

Alejandro married Tanya Fawn Nathan born 1967 in Alameda, California. She's an attorney who was a member of the California Bar Association. Her parents were Nathan I Nathan born 1927 and Hope Ann Sprung Nathan born 1936 Michigan and died 2018 in Washington, D.C. Hope's family was from Russia and Finland. 

Below is Alejandro's family tree.

Some of the family is buried in United Hebrew Congregation Ashkenazi at Guanabacoa in Havana, Municipio de La Habana Vieja, La Habana, Cuba. The tombstone inscriptions are in English and I'm not talking about just the names.
