Looking for VAPAAOKSA surname
Posted by: Ayla Hasso (ID *****2565) Date: February 20, 2008 at 16:21:45

Hello everyone!

I'm hoping that someone can help me out of this confusion!

I'm looking for any information on the surname Vapaaoksa.
In the Uusi Sukukirja for the Brander family, it lists my great aunt Jenny Sofia Brander as marrying someone called Kaarle Jalmari Frigren on 25.06.1904 in Pori.

Jenny was born 16.11.1884.

So I naturally started looking for Frigren families in Finland, especially Suolahti which is where they apparently settled.
Then, in the 1946 edition it says something different, someone just emailed me and told me that Jenny is listed there but not as Jenny Frigren but as Jenny Vapaaoksa.

So now I'm confused! I have a copy of the page for my grandmother's brothers and sisters and she is listed as Frigren there.

Maybe husband Kaarle died or they divorced, but I am looking for her children and any living relatives. This name does not sound familiar to me at all, I have never heard of it so I'm hoping that someone out there may know of this Vapaaoksa name? Does it belong to just one family perhaps?

I did google it but most of the sites are in Finnish. If anyone has any info about this name and place of origin perhaps that would be great!

Huge thanks

Ayla
