Bauska Phone List 1940

This list is taken from the Latvian Telephone Directory dated April 1940. The names in the directory have been listed in their Latvian form which includes adding an "s" or "is" to male names and an "aa" or "e" to female names. In addition to telephone numbers, the list gives you the name of the telephone subscriber, home address, commercial address where appropriate and sometimes information about businesses and business relationships

For example: The listing under Abrahamsons, Seina provides the further information that in 1940 Sheine Abrahamson practised in partnership as a dentist with B Perlman at Number 18 Pils; drop the final "s" off each name to establish the original name. The diacritical marks over the "S" in Seine indicate that the sound is closer to "Sh" than a pure "s".
