| Notes for Wilhelmina Gustava Charlotta "Mina" Armfelt |
The history books claim that the parents of Mina Armfelt was Fredrik Armfelt (16 Mar1759 - 26 Jun 1821) and his wife Ulrika Wallman (1 May1768 - 27 Mar 1842). Fredrik was a cousin to GM Armfelts father. Further it is said that GM Armfelt then adopted his sibbling Mina. The fact is that GMA had to flew from Sweden after the Swedish King Gustav III had been murdered. GM was sentenced to death but he had manage to escape abroad before the sentence was given.
In the beginning of 1798 GMA had an affair with the princess Wilhelmina of Sagan (Biron-family) born 8 Feb 1781. Approximately 9 months later a girl, Mina was born. The princess was only 17 years old and thus the whole matter was kept in secret. To make this possible Ulrika Armfelt pretended to be pregnant by filling up her belly step by step until Mina was born in Germany. In the beginning of January 1799 around New Year's eve GMA came to fetch Mina and brought her in secresy to Turku/Åbo where Mina was christened and registered as the the daughter of Ulrika and Fredrik Armfelt.
Two years later in 1801 GMA had another daughter with the princess (actually at that time already dutchess of Kurland) Wilhelmina. This daughter was Adelaide Gustava Aspasie "Vava" born 13 Jan 1801 in Hamburg, Germany. Vava got the surname Armfelt and was officially accepted also by GMA's own family in Finland. Vava was brought up together with her sister Mina and lived with GMA's family in Finland. Sources given by Birgitta Elving. Letters from: Siri Federley b. 16 Jan 1858 (Mina was Siri's grandmother), Gurli Hegart b. 31 Jan 1861, Rolf Bernhardt b. 29 Mar 1883 and Christer Bernhardt b. 31. Dec 1908. GMA adopted both Mina and Vava in 1802. It is worthwhile to mention that Mina and Vava both carried the name Gustava from their father and that Mina also carried the name Wilhelmina from, her mother and Charlotta from her Grandmother, the Dutches of Kurland. The names of Mina's and Axel's children are also quite interesting. Hedvig, Mina's stepmother, Axel, Mina's Husband, Gustaf Mina's father, Lousie Aspasie, Mina's sister, Axela Mina's husband, Gustava Mina's father and Mauritz Mina's father.
Mina came from Halikko to Turku 14 Nov 1822 together with her stepmother, Gustav Mauritz´s widow Countess Hedvig Ulrika born De La Gardie. Source Åbo svenska domkyrkoförsamling communion bok 1812 - 1831. Source by Leena Heikelä. Mina is burried at the old Helsinki cemetary together with her husband Axel. The grave is located at Qvarter Nr 003, Row 6, Grave 0064. |
