Surnames: HARRISON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/jhh.2ACIB/4789 Message Board Post: Wish to contact anyone with information on the HARRISON surname in LATVIA. My great grandfather, Julius Harrison, and his brother, Samuel, came to the U.S. in the 1870's from the Latvian province of Curland. They were born in the small village of VEESKO, a way station on the St. Petersburg & Warsaw Railroad, about 30 miles from DWINSK (now Daugavpils). MY phone # is (909) 677-0628.
