I don't know of anyone who has grown it but you may wish to e-mail the person mentioned in the above link b'c that variety is one of just two that they have. As you noted Tania doesn't list it under Swedish tomatoes and no separate list for Norwegian ones.
Being of Scandinavian heritage myself I know that the cusines of those countries is not tomato based and most of the named varieties grown there in the past are small red ones, so I haven't pursued it myself.

I assume that the above is what you read here at Tville and the history of the Tante Ci was given there, but I have no idea where seeds can be found for it or some of the others mentioned in that Tville thread.
So perhaps if you contact someone at the first link, there is an e-mail linkm you might find more if Tante Ci is the only Norwegian tomato variety you're interested in.
