Are you looking to meet other people who are doing Latvian genealogy? You've come to the right place! This website is an ever-evolving, ever-growing resource for people of Latvian descent doing research into their family histories. It is meant to help people getting started into researching their Latvian heritage. It is especially intended for people of Latvian descent who do not speak Latvian.

I'm here to help you and answer any questions you may have. Most of the content for this website can be found on the blog. There you will find all sorts of interesting information, including tips on how to do your research, translations of Latvian newspaper articles, advice on what documents to consult for what information, and historical backgrounders for important times in Latvian history. If you are interested in exploring Latvian surnames, you can go to the Latvian Surname Project. If you are new to Latvian genealogy, I highly recommend you read my blog post Getting Started with Latvian Research to get an idea of how to approach your research and what kind of documents might be available for that research. You can also read my Latvian Genealogy Primer (Part 1 and Part 2).
