    His mother is named Britta Margareta (Jonsson) Stein.

    Since she was born on 14 April 1948 in Enskede, Stockholm, we will have to wait until the end of this year when the BMDs for 1948 will be opened to the general public unless someone has subscription to ArkivDigital, wherein the census records for 1950 and 1960 are also available in which they might help in tracing Britta’s ancestry, as well as Alicia Vikander and Tove Lo’s paternal ancestries.

    Ola’s father is Jan Olof Norell.

    Ola’s paternal grandfather Olof was the son of Gunnar Norell and Hulda Eugenia Elisabet Petersson. Gunnar was the son of Per Reinhold Norell and Josefina Augusta Karolina Söderling. Hulda was the daughter of Benjamin Petersson and Johanna Kristina Andreasdotter.

    Ola’s paternal grandmother’s full name is Ain Margit Elvira Berenheim, and is now deceased as she is no longer listed on ratsit.se & merinfo.se. Also, correct her own father’s second middle name to Ture, which must be properly referred to rather than his first name. Agnes was the daughter of Fredric August Asplund and Anna Sofia Petersson.
