I just posted this, but not enough coffee, don't know where I put it. I am back to researching my dad's family. Found a hint on his mother but it is in Finnish and I cannot find any translation that makes sense to me. Someone has on a history that her occupation was Vakkurin torpan tytär. Only translation I could get was "daughter of the dagger. Does anyone know what that means? Thank you

Daughter from Vakkuri croft, daughter of Vakkuri crofter. Vakkuri is a name, not to be translated.
It's based on profession vakkuri, who made wooden vessels (bushels), in Finnish vakka.

Thank you so much. That makes so more sense than the online translation and my dictionary was no help at all.
