Why did family remember Peter while the book said Kaspars? Forensics suggest he was likely Kaspars-Peteris Akmens.

He likely served on a local schooner (burinieks) out of Ventspils or Liepāja.



For generations, the story was a footnote: Peter Akmens, a sailor in the Russian Imperial Navy died at sea and was buried . Peteris was found at place called Akmensrags, a rag is a curved strip of land extending into the sea, when he was brought home to farm Poijas, estate Sasluka,then to the the Evangelical Lutheran Church that is near Ãrlava and buried in the church graveyard.
