Järnefelt

[June Pelo]

Does anyone know if Jean Sibelius' wife Aino Järnefelt had a sister named Sylvi? Would she have been still alive in 1978? My search reveals that a Sylvi was friends of the Järnefelt sisters, but I don't find her name listed as one of the family.

Was there a Finnish Arts & Culture Community in Finland in the 1890s which would have included the Sibelius and Järnfelt families?

A list of the Järnefelt siblings appears on this page:

http://www.sibelius.fi/svenska/suku_perhe/suku_jarnefelt.htm

Here's that specific family:

August Alexanders och Elisabeths barn:

Kasper 1859-1941
Arvid 1861-1932
Erik (Eero) 1863-1937
Ellida (Liida) 1865-85
Ellen (Elli) 1867-1901
Armas 1869-1958
Aino Sibelius os. Järnefelt 1871-1969
Hilja 1873-79
Sigrid (Siiri) 1875-76

There doesn't seem to be a Sylvi among them.

June,

Perhaps you refer to August Alexander Järnefelt's brother Klas Erik Järnefelt's granddaughter Sylvi Eva Emilia Järnefelt, born ------------.

Hi Jaska,

Good to have you back online again. :) It's possible that the Sylvi I'm referring to could be the granddaughter of Klas Erik Järnefelt. Do you have any further information such as her parents and her death date?

Thanks,

June
