My oldest known ancestor Pēteris Ulmkalns was born after the turn of the 18th century. The only data that we have about him is that he had two sons. The elder was named Mačs (roughly pronounced: Match) who in 1795 lived at the Ulms’ farmstead with his three daughters: Laža (born 1781), Greta (1791) and Līze (1790).

Ulms farmstead still exist, now called Ulmi – http://www.celotajs.lv/a/ulmi/index_en.html

Hello,
I am from India, I do some Wellness Activity for under developed countries, resent a fund allotted for a person from Latvia who’s surname mentioned as Dee Vee which may be short form of his surname. Due to incomplete surname it’s difficult to disburse the allotted fund to the person.
If anybody can say the actual surname against Dee Vee then it’ll be helpful for the person to get the fund.
Please note the person may be migrated from neighboring Country.

Cien. Antra! Apskatījos Jūsu sarakstu ar latviešu uzvārdiem, un konstatēju, ka tajā nav mana VIZULIS (tas ir cēlies no Baltinavas, Zelču/Zeļču ciema). Iepriekš pateicos, Ernests

P.S. Pavisam nesen, es palīdzēju kādai sievietei, kurai tēvs (Aloizs Vizulis) 2. pasaules kara laikā bija devies bēgļu gaitās, un nokļuva UK. Pēc tēva nāves šī sieviete (kura starpcitu 16-Jun-2010 ir ierakstījusi komentāru Jusu mājas lapā), nesen mani uzrunāja “facebook”, ar lūgumu noskaidrot kaut ko par viņas tēva izcelsmi. Un nedaudz vēlāk arī tika atrasti Latvijā dzīvojošie radi (māsīcas/brālēni).

I have one surname to suggest. This is the name of my boyfriend’s great-grandmother who emmigrated to the United States in the 1950′s after living in a refugee camp in German and being sponsored by another Latvian family living here.

The surname is: Pernics (Not sure if this is the correct Latvian spelling).

Thanks! This is an amazing site!
