Sweden may have claimed part of Finland back when. I know the borders have changed over the last 400 years or more.

Yes, Finland has passed back and forth between Sweden and Russia, with some opportunities to govern themselves from time to time, but in this case there is a specific family story (among the family still in Finland) about the family descending from a Swedish soldier in the 17th century. Of course, he would have presumably married a local Finnish woman, and so on through the generations, unless there were a lot of Swedes wandering around among the peasantry. Who knows?
