Searching in archives and online-collections

Please write what information would you like to obtain?

If it is a birth record, family composition information or a specific document, the search can take from 1 to 6 hours.

Documents have survived differently in each locality and time period. The amount of documents that need to be reviewed in each case may also be different. The cost of the work depends on this. If necessary, the search can be done in stages.

Most often we search in the archives of Latvia, however, it is also possible to search in the archives of Lithuania, Estonia, Belarus, Russia, Poland.
