Reposting as I have found some additional info. Looking for ancestors of Marie Elizabeth (or Mary Elizabeth) Gurgenson born June 28, 1902, Riga, the daughter of John Gurgenson and Elizabeth Leepin. There was another sibling named "Fritz". John had a brother Hans Gurgenson. Hans emigrated to the US (BOston area); John apparently died in Latvia. Elizabeth and the two children, Marie and Fritz, emigrated to the US (Boston area) about 1904. Marie was naturalized on January 9, 1928, after her marriage to Alfred Fearing Bridgman, Sr. To whom do I write in Latvia for birth and death certificates? Any help greatly appreciated.
