Dee, my husband is Latvian and I know that somewhere I have a recipe for his grandmother's rye bread which is very heavy, dense and a bit sour. I don't remember using a sourdough type starter, but perhaps a rye biga or poolish. I loved it (except for the caraway seeds!) and wrote it down in English, translated by my DH from his Oma. Haven't made it in 20 years, and now I will make an effort to find the recipe and do a batch. If/when I find it I will post it or PM you.
