Re: Ancestors of Juris Stals, 1870-1951

I do not have specific information about your ancestors. However, a quick look of the Latvian Web revealed a STALS Edmunds, STALS Andris, STALS Austris. I don't know how common a surname is STALS. STALS can also be found through http://www.google.com/http://www.google.com/. If you have enough useful information, then you could ask the Latvian State Historical Archives, http://www.arhivi.lv/http://www.arhivi.lv/, to do a search. See their site or http://www.JewishGen.orghttp://www.JewishGen.org about fees and how long it takes.
