Karen,
 
Have you tried looking up August's birth in the  
Swedish parish records at a Family History Center  
near you?  Here is a website that will help you  
find one near you:

I think there are 2 Borås parishes listed--  
perhaps you will have to check both if you do not  
know which.  The records are all on microfilm and  
you will look under:
  -Sweden
    --Alvsborgs län
      ---Borås Caroli parish  or  Borås Gustav  
Adolf parish
         ----Födelsebok  (birth records)
 
and order the one for 1852.
 
Here is a website that will help you understand  
how the birth record books are set up:

Or better yet buy a copy of Cradled in Sweden--  
it is the best reference to Swedish genealogical  
research for English-speaking people.  Here is a  
website of Frequently Asked Questions (in English)  
about Swedish genealogy that may help you:
