(I used an online translator. Sorry for any mistakes.) This is a close friend of my father’s and he passed away in September. I don’t know much about his past, but he was born in Soviet Latvia. My father met him in Kiev and helped him get a passport, and they immigrated to New York in the 1990s. Valerich gained a reputation as a very reliable and safe plumber. Later, when we moved to Texas, he joined my family and lived here for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, he lacks the proper documents.
thank you very much

A group where people help with this kind of requests
Every single detail could help, like where he lived in Latvia, especially where and when he was born.
Could start with these, but all behind a paywall.

You’ll probably find some help from the FB community, but I know in many such cases you would need to go to Latvijas Valsts Arhīvs. You should try sending them a email, but Ive met many people who travel to LV to sit in the archives and search for the info themselves.
Right now, I know a guy who travelled here and spends his days at the archive researching his heritage. He does this for others also, if you want to go that route and want someone to check it IRL DM me I’ll connect you.
