Well, except for a suspected Scot back in the 19th century, I have no known non-Swedish ancestors after the middle ages (Dad's a genealogist). This's nothing unusual by local standards either. If you look at the family, I've got half-Spanish cousins (one of which has a triple Swedish-Spanish-Equadorian citizenship), and Polish cousins-by-adoption.
