Hi Andre!
Are you looking for birth records for Janis Wasser? If so, do you know what religion he may have belonged to? That will help us better locate a possible birth record for him.

Judging from the names and the location, it's likely they were Evangelical Lutheran.
Parish records for Jekabpils (called Jakobstadt in German) are available through the Latvian State Archives Raduraksti website: http://www.lvva-raduraksti.lv/en/menu/lv/2/ig/1/ie/50.html.
They are also available at FamilySearch: https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/713156?availability=Family%20History%20Library
Online records, however, do not begin until 1890. I will do some research and see if I can find if earlier records exist and if they do, where they can be found

Earlier church records for Jakabpils/Jakobstadt are also available through FamilySearch: https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/3047620?availability=Family%20History%20Library, but I'm not seeing any that cover births in the year of 1885.
