Hello Diane,  
 
As it seems to be clear that Josef was the son of Birger Torbjörnsson in Södra Vi parish, you might want to look for his ancestors. There are several discussions (in Swedish, but you can maybe use Google translate). It seems Birger was born in Kisa parish in 1785 and his ancestors are to be found there. The line goes back to the captain Torbjörn Svensson in Mistefall, Kisa (E), who fell in battle in  in 1669.  
The line should be
Torbjörn Svensson (~1610-1669)
Brita Torbjörnsdotter Dufva (~1640-1724)
Torbjörn Svensson (1666-1739)
 
Torbjörn Månsson (1736-1801)
Birger Torbjörnsson (1785-1856)

PS. Adding to the mail by Kristina about Arkiv Digital. I do not know about the riksarkivet (SVAR) pictures, but a big advantage with the newer photographs is that the household examination records (husförhörslängd) were indexed sometimes in the 1970-ties. This means that you can more or less directly find a place in the records at Arkiv Digital. I spent hours trying to find a specific page in Genline (now Ancestry) in the old photographs.
