Latvijas Dzimtas

Latvijas Dzimtas is an online resource for exploring historical records related to families and communities in Latvia. Its searchable catalogue brings together archival material across several categories, including church registers, statistical records, military and education records, household books, tax records, migration, and citizenship. Visitors can narrow their searches using filters for congregation, religious denomination, year, and record type.

Available record types include births, marriages, deaths, divorces, communion and confirmation records, congregation member lists, and miscellaneous entries. The catalogue includes material from different faith communities, such as Lutheran, Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Baptist, Old Believer, Reformed, Jewish, and Uniate congregations. Listings identify congregations, date ranges, and archival descriptions; examples include records from the Riga Grebenščikova Old Believer congregation spanning the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

With records indexed across a broad historical period, Latvijas Dzimtas supports family-history research and discovery of archival sources. The website is available in Latvian, English, and Russian, and provides contact information alongside usage and cookie policies
