Unnecessary facts

Most of my wiki-work contributes to the Swedish Wikipedia, where I maintain the same user name as here; Tommy Kronkvist. Swedish is my mothertongue – even though I was born in Jakobstad, Finland – but I feel fairly comfortable speaking and writing English and some German as well. Odd as it may seem, unfortunately I can't speak any Finnish.

My Finland Swedish family name consists of two parts: "Kron" – a short form of the Swedish word "krona" meaning 'crown', as in coronation crown or tree crown – and "kvist", meaning 'bough' or 'twig'. Hence the name Kronkvist refers to a twig in the canopy of a forest. I'm the fourth generation of Kronkvist's. Before that our family name used to be Mattus – living in Oravais, Finland, while still speaking Swedish – dating back from late 1637. Today I live in Uppsala, the fourth biggest city in Sweden.
