Eh, where did you get the idea that Erlander was a Finn? I cannot find any source claiming that - not even the Finnish wikipedia which usually tends to know things like that.
Quote:
Tage Fritiof Erlander (June 13, 1901, Ransäter, Sweden - June 21, 1985, Huddinge, near Stockholm, Sweden) was a Swedish politician.
...
He was born in Ransäter, Värmland County as son of the school teacher Erik Gustaf Erlander (1859-1936). His mother was Alma Nilsson (1869-1961).

All the names are fully Swedish (which by itself doesn't deny Finnish origins, but at least Nilsson is not a common name in Finland at all - and neither Erlander).
