        I looked into Caty’s census records in Sweden, and it appears that she has no birthplace. Therefore, she was born outside Sweden, most likely in Finland.

        Nina’s maternal grandmother is named Saara Anneli.

        Also, she had her DNA tested last January: https://twitter.com/ninanesbitt/status/957949225878409216
