After six months of hard work and fiddling around with the new software, I’m proud to present the all-new version of the Latvian Surname Project! What’s new… … you can browse surnames by parish! If you’ve been following my blog for awhile, you’ll be familiar with the Latvians Abroad – Museum and Research Centre (Latvian name “Latvieši pasaulē – muzejs un pētniecības centrs”, from which the short form LaPa is formed). I worked at this budding museum this past winter to fulfill the internship requirements for my Applied Museum [...] This blog is three years old today! As I’ve said in previous blog anniversaries, when I first started this blog, I never imagined that I would get the response that I have. I’ve had people contact me from all over the world to share their stories, ask questions and solve the riddles of their family trees. It [...] I will be heading to Latvia again in the fall, so I am available to help you in a variety of different ways. The different services I can offer are outlined in this post from last winter.

However, [...] Sorry for my long absence, this last semester of classes has just been extremely time-consuming. But everything has been submitted, and there is only one component left to my program prior to graduation in the spring – completing my internship! As I’ve mentioned before, I’m currently studying Applied Museum Studies. This means my internship needs to [...] I apologize profusely for my lack of posting in the past two months. My school program was a lot more intense than I’d ever imagined, and that left me time for little else. But right now I am still on vacation until January 10th, so I am going to write up many posts that will [...] One year ago today, I created this blog! I never imagined I’d get the response that I have. Turns out there are a lot more people looking for their Latvian roots than I thought! I know the past couple of months have been relatively slow on here. Between going on my trip to Latvia, then moving to [...] Sorry for the lack of posting the past couple of weeks – I was making my way home from Latvia, and then, just four days after getting home, moved across the province.
