Abstract: We give some new examples of Frobenius objects in the category of sets and relations $extbfRel$. One example is a groupoid with a twisted counit. Another example is the set of conjugacy classes of a group. We also classify Frobenius objects in $extbfRel$ with two or three elements, and we compute the associated surface invariants using the partition functions of the corresponding TQFTs.
