Latvian Genealogy

Are you looking for information on how to find your Latvian roots?

Are you interested in learning about Latvian surnames?

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. Most resources on Latvian genealogy are in Latvian, or assume at least some familiarity with the language, which can be a bit daunting for beginning researchers. I'm here to help you and answer any questions you may have.

Who am I? I am a twentysomething third-generation Latvian-Canadian. I was born and raised in Canada, and I speak Latvian and English fluently. I also have a growing knowledge of Russian and German (both useful languages for conducting Latvian research), and I'm working towards becoming a professional genealogist, specializing in Latvian genealogy.

So come in, take a look around, and I hope you find what you're looking for!
