I would be interested to find out more about Karlis Nicis, secretary for the Latvian Consulate after 1930. I have been told that Indulis Nicis, who came to Australia in the first party of Displaced Persons in 1947, was his son. Was this so?

I am looking for some history on the latvian nsw state volley ball champs around 1965. I would be grateful if you could let me know any information you may have about them, or a website that I may be able to find them on.

I'm looking for descendants of Wilhelm Vitte. He had 3 childrens, but I know only 2 names - Adolf and Erna Vitte. Erna Vitte ( sister of my grandfather Adolf) emigrated to Australia, Sidney, between 1945-1950.Thanks for some information. Greetings from Latvia-Belgium.

Despite 25 years of making music, Bumerangs has just two albums
Bumerangs, from the northern Latvian city of Valka, has long been a Latvian schlager music institution. Celebrating its 25th anniversary in December 2011, the band has been one of the hardest working—playing, in some years, hundreds of concerts, and entertaining audiences not just in Latvia, but elsewhere in the world.
