HELLO MY MAIN SEARCH IS FOR GRASIS. MY AUNT VERONICA ZENTINA BORN 1924, DIED 1968 MARRIED A GRINBERGA/GRINBERCA? DOES THE GRINBERGA YOU HAVE ANY RELATION TO THIS PERSON? THANK YOU
Hi Margret!
Unfortunately I don’t think there’s a relation. Grinbergs (male form) is a pretty popular surname. Even within the same parish I wouldn’t count all Grinbergs as related.
I think you’re pretty much stuck until you get those ITS papers… unless you have an idea of WHERE these people were born? Then you could start looking for baptisms on Raduraksti. Well, if they were born 1909 or earlier, that is…
Just discovered your website…my husband and I are going to Latvia next week. He was born in Liepaja in 1942 but lived in Embute on a dairy. The family loved in a DP camp in Oldenburg Germany after fleeing Latvia. Emigrated to the USA, Canada, and Australia around 1949. We are flying into Riga and then going to Liepaja. In reseaching Embute, it seems as there is no longer a town there…is that true? Is it worth it to actually go there? Thank you!

Well, they may have loved in the DP camp but I actually meant lived…sorry.
