Flexer  of Griva Family tree
				The name is thought to have been derived from one who works with flax, hence flaxer/flexer.  Spelling variations include  FLEXER, FLAXER, FLEKSER, and even FLETCHER, which actually means something completely different.(one who puts the feathers on arrows,  who fletches the arrows).   Occupations were often used as a basis for a new family name.  There are many different branches of this family name.   In the United States there are over 300 Flexers listed in the various telephone directories, but most of them are descended from  one Hans Philipp Flexer,  a Dutch Protestant   who emigrated from the Low Countries in 1746.   Other Flexers came  from Latvia, Germany, , Poland, and Lithuania, and whose descendants can be found  all over the world, in Canada, the United States, France, Peru, Brazil, to name a few.
