The website <a href="http://www.genline.com" rel="nofollow">Genline</a> might be able to help. They might also be able to aid in discovering information about his mother. Do you know when they moved to Sweden? If it was between 1920 and 1928, it is possible that the Latvian State Historical Archives may have an emigration record for the family. Best of luck! Rebekah,

I know his father was Aleksander Krilovs, a naval captain who died at sea around 1929/1930 possibly as the result of an explosion or collision or similar. We dont know if it was the Royal Navy or merchant Navy. Aleksander's wife was Annette (maiden name unknown). Annette remarried to a Mr Swenson/Swensson and Valdis was sent to boarding school in Sweden. Valdis emigrated to England in 1946 and died in 1981. Nothing else is known but I would love to have some info.
