In this page those group photographs are gathered that I have not so much information about. I hope somebody will study and will explain them.

AluksnesVilceni__.JPG (18205 bytes) The inscription on the backside of the photograph informs that this is a group of cub scouts (vilcēni) in Alūksne photographed on Dec. 13, 1929. Unfortunately no information more.
Gaujiena__.JPG (11593 bytes) The inscription bears only the place and the date - Gaujiena [Adsel], Aug.22, 1937
LiepajasSkolnieces__.JPG (10691 bytes) A group of Liepaja [Libau] school girls in 1914. Only one first name is known - Mariņa.
TrikatasStudenti__.jpg (12489 bytes) The society of students in Trikata. March 1926. I do not know what this society was busy with. Everybody whose ancestors came from Trikata and studied in a higher education institution in or prior 1926 is proposed to have a look at this photograph.
Medmasas__.JPG (16002 bytes) These nice happy young ladies look like medical nurses. Strictly speaking, milkmaids or other women engaged in the food production also wore white clothes. This should be a graduation event because the older woman in the centre of the picture had received flowers and a wooden dish.
JewishStudents__.JPG (14464 bytes) The photograph shows a group of secondary school students. I think they look like Jewish. The Jewish students wore hats like these, they (hats) were dark blue and had Magen David sewn on their top surface. The photograph was taken in Latvia what I conclude from the plain Latvian ornaments on the surface behind the group. Please vote for or against the explanations.
18Novembra__.JPG (13179 bytes) Only the date of the photographing of this group is known - Nov.18, 1938. Evidently this was a celebration of 20 years of Latvia. At the first glance I thought this was a chorus, but the grouping of men and women does not correspond to this assumption.
