If you would like to contest any of that, then you have the burden of proof for your claim. I have already demonstrated what movements I am talking about, with references to commonly accepted facts of history, accounted for by wikipedia among many other sources. (Read my posts from the beginning of this thread for further explanation.)
Movement from western Finland during the great northern war was very likely to a great extent and possibly even exclusively Finlandswedish, or do you have any proof of the opposite?
The source about Östergötland does not distinguish properly between Finlandswedes and Finns, and hence it is unclear what it is saying, but the names that are explicitly mentioned are overwhelmingly Swedish.
