I am looking for some information on my family from Latvia
Any support and guidance on how to find records of family from Madona in Latvia would be very helpful as I have no idea where to look.
maybe immigration records from there to UK after ww2. I know she also spent time in a concentration camp but not which one or where. Please help

Hi Emma!
If your ancestor spent some time in a concentration camp, try the online archive at Arolsen Archives - it's a great resource! https://collections.arolsen-archives.org/en/search/
Were your ancestors by chance Jewish? If so, the first place I would look would be https://www.jewishgen.org/ or https://www.jewishgen.org/latvia/.
As far as immigration goes, I don't have much experience with research in the UK, so I would reccomend signing up for a Family History Library virtual genealogy consultation with a UK Jewish expert. You can find more about the free service here: https://www.familysearch.org/family-history-library/family-history-library-research-consultations
If your ancestors were not Jewish, please let me know and I can help you find other resources.
