More Information

Kristaps Gulbis was the 2nd son of Lawize and Indriks Gulbis. He was baptized in 1819 at Zalenieku Lutheran Church (see record above). He and his family were living at Baž Kauliņu farm in Zalenieku at this time.

In the 1826 Revision List the family is still living at Baž Kauliņu farm. Now Kristap’s parents, Lawize and Indriks, are the new managers. They had taken over managing after the death of Kristaps’s grandfather, Klawe. Kristap is 7 years old here and is living with his maternal extended family. His siblings are Janne, Jahn, Ans, Greete and Liese.

In the 1833 Farm List Kristaps has moved with his family to Daukšas farm. The are living there with Kristap’s maternal aunt, Grieta Vigants, who is managing this farm at the time.

Kristap marries Lawize Swivert in 1843 and they have 6 children between 1845 and 1856. Two of those children die in infancy. (please see marriage, baptism and death records above)

In 1845 they are living at Daukšas farm. In 1847 and 1849 they are living at Kautze farm. In 1851 and 1852 they are living back at Baž Kauliņu farm. In 1856 and in the 1857 Revision List they are back at Kautze farm.

I don’t know what happens to anyone in this family after 1857. More research is needed here.
