Well, no i am not any part Swedish and i live in Helsinki, which is mainly Finnish, apart from Immigrant languages that fill the air. I learned Swedish in school, because everywhere in Finland we must learn Swedish. It has to do with the old reasons, such as Sweden once ruling over Finland.
As for Sigrid having Theodore, well maybe she fell in love, but had Theodore before engagement or marriage, and then things went sour and she was left unmarried and with child. It may have been a mercy plea to have her sister take the child, as her sister was married and with family, therefore it would look normal, whereas Sigrid would have a bit of explaining to do when it would come to marriage and explaining why she had a child out of wedlock. It would make her look bad. I wonder if Ernst knew she had a son Theodore?
Happy Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!!
