If your grandparents were Jewish, then you would start by looking in

Jewishgen's database of Jewish Marriages in Riga, 1854-1921. Go to https://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Latvia/ to search. If their marriage isn't in the database or they were gentiles, then you would write to The Archives of the Registry Department Kalku Street 24 Riga LV-1050 LATVIA See https://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Latvia/RigaMarriages.html for more information about this archive.

I assume that they were married in Riga since, traditionally, the wedding takes place where the bride lives. My father was born in Warsaw in April of 1913, so I assume his parents got married some time between 1909 and 1912. I understand that access to post-1909 marriage records is difficult - assuming that such records have survived. So, how do I go about applying to see if a post-1909 Mozeson-Nathanson Riga marriage record exists? What proof is required of me? Also, would there have been a marriage announcement in the Riga papers of that time? Lilli Nathanson's father was Max [Jankel Mowsha] Nathanson, a merchant of the First Guild in the pre-WW1 Pale of Settlement. He may have lived at #8 Greshnaya iela at the time of his daughter's marriage. He was co-owner of the Nathanson & Bernheim Department Store at Sunderstrasse/Grecinieku 8, and possibly had other stores at Karlines 17-15 and Brivibas 93-29. If there was a marriage announcement in a Riga newspaper some time between 1909 and 1912, how would I go about finding it? |
