I was told by my Uncle that  out of wedlock births  
were encouraged in the 1840's by the Church and  
State because of Sweden's diminished male  
population as the result of earlier wars.  
 
Is this true?  
There is no record of a spouse for my  
G G Grandmother who had 3 children in the  
Norrtalje Parish, 1837,1838 & 1842. She kept her  
maiden name,  Anna Catharina Hedberg.
