• The reason I want to participate is because Janis Buda is the father I never met. My mother was seven months pregnant with me when she fled Latvia and my father stayed behind with his soldiers. I never knew much about my father but I do know that he remarried and I have a half sister in Jaunana new Aluksne. I would like to travel to Latvia this year to visit my fathers grave but am not sure which cemetery he is buried in. I want to add my name as his daughter to the site as well as the fact that he married my mother,
