In my last post, a reader requested that I talk about records after 1905. So here we go! There are lots of different types of records available for the post-1905 period – however, as of right now, none of them are available online. The main online genealogical resource for Latvian records – religious records on Raduraksti [...] 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. I’m mostly settled in now, and starting to process everything I learned and found while I was researching in the archives in Latvia. There’s [...] So the new project that I’ve been working on – revision list indexes! Now, these indexes are simple – family name and number, and the farm names and numbers they appear in on the specified estate. More information is on the Revision Lists page. The revision lists I’ve indexed aren’t available online yet, but they might be [...] Ever wonder how your parents, grandparents or great-grandparents did in school? You may just be able to find out. Numerous Latvian school records are held at the Latvian State Historical Archives, mostly for the inter-war period (1918-1940). Of course, to be able to use these records, you need to know where they went to school, and [...] The Latvian Record Project has been updated! I have added 1506 new entries to the indexes, covering Lēdurga births 1895-1899, marriages 1895-1899 and deaths 1895-1900. Note however that unfortunately records for 1897 are not available, and are probably lost. Compared to the previous updates, you’ll note that I’ve pared down the information available in the indexes. This [...] I’ll admit, this post is long overdue. It should have been one of the first posts on this blog. But it is here now! For the purposes of this post, I am assuming several things. The main assumption is that you have utilized all of the records in the place where your Latvian ancestor migrated to [...] The Latvian Record Project and the Latvian Surname Project have been updated! The Surname Project has 100 new names, including KALĒJS and ZVEJNIEKS. The Record Project has 368 new records in Limbaži marriages 1890-1899. That’s all for this update! Updates will happen, on average, every ten days. The Latvian Record Project and the Latvian Surname Project have been updated! The Surname Project has 61 new names, including LAPSA and DZĒRVE. The Record Project has 1075 new records, including Limbaži baptisms 1900-1905, Lēdurga baptisms 1900, Limbaži marriages 1900-1905, Lēdurga marriages 1900 and Suntaži marriages 1900-1905. For all records, Limbaži is missing 1904 and Suntaži is [...] Now it is time for the unveiling of my most ambitious project – the Latvian Record Project! That’s right, I’m working on transcribing and indexing all of the Latvian records that I can. I’m starting with Lutheran church records, and will move on to the Latvian portions of the All-Russia Census at some point. The only records [...] So today was my second day, and first full day, at the Latvian State Historical Archives. I was able to view the passports I mentioned in my previous post, belonging to Pēteris Celmiņš and Anna Celmiņa (born Liepa), and confirmed that they are the correct individuals, and thus able to add their information to my family [...] |
