Edwin,
It seems that you have already seen or had a lookup in Swedish Passenger Arrivals in the United States 1820-1850. That same information (pages 267-268) tells that Erik Johansson was born in Ekornetorp, Frödine Parish (Kalm. = Kalmar län = county).
Since you have the birth parishes of the parents, you can follow them backwards and forwards in time in those records to get the places of birth of the children.
The Rosenberg cd says that Grinderum is a by = village in Frödinge parish. That is near Vimmerby, famous for being the hometown of the fictional Pippi Longstocking.
Grinderum can be seen on this map of Frödinge and areas around there.
Have you tried using the excellent resources of the Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center? Their extensive records aren't oniine, so you need to go there to research or pay them to research for you. I've researched there many times and always find good information.
