The wife's maiden name is never stated on the records. I search in the records, that I have translated at "The Riga Vital Records". Sometimes I find them, sometimes, I don't. Please, if you know the wifes maiden names, email me.

Concerning the women , who worked at the match factory:
F/ S means: Single woman
F/M means: Married woman
F/D means: Divorced woman
In italic, the non- Jews.
According to the 1897 census, 630 men and women worked at the match factory in 1896

Sorry to say, that, henceforth, the translations of the Latvia Rabbinate vital records and the 1897 Census will be available only by contributors.
