Archive Research of Latvian Roots
We help find documentary proof of Latvian roots — for citizenship by descent, inheritance rights or family history reconstruction.
Confirming kinship with pre-war Latvian citizens requires documents from state archives. We know the structure of Latvian archival collections and how to work with church registers, citizen lists and other historical sources.
Archive research is relevant for citizenship by descent applications, inheritance of property, property restitution, and personal study of family history. The result is official archive certificates accepted by government authorities.
