Sweden
Grandma: Mormor (maternal), Farmor (paternal)
Grandpa: Morfar (maternal), Farfar (paternal)
“In Sweden, it is made clear if the grandparent is on the mother’s side or on the father’s side,” says tour guide, Adeodata Czink. In the Swedish language, the maternal grandparents are “mormor” for grandmother and “morfar” for grandfather. Paternal grandparents are “farmor” for grandmother, and “farfar,” for grandfather. If you want to get up close and personal with all things Swedish, no need to have a mormor of your own. Lindsborg, Kansas, also known as Little Sweden, is filled with shops selling Swedish crafts, restaurants featuring everything from Swedish meatballs to ostkaka, and Swedish festivals. According to the American Grandparents Association, more than half of Lindsborg’s population has Swedish roots.
