Seeking Family leads

Surnames: Seija
I am seeking information about my grandfather's family. His name was Martin Seija, whose place of birth has been reported as: Velna (Russia) or Mitan (Russia) with a date of birth of about 17 November 1875. His wife's given name was Elizabeth, Lizza, or Libya with a surname of Bernowitz. They had a daughter (my mother) named Hermina or Senta, who told me that she was born in Riga, Latvia. My information is that they lived at 14 Kitter Street (?) in Riga in 1905. All three emigrated to Bremen, Germany ca. March 1906, then to the United States (Boston) ca. September 1907. After my grandfather, Martin, died they moved to San Francisco, which I recall had a rather large group of Lettish families. I know very little about Latvia and it's history and would appreciate getting any possible information.
