Luke,
I hope you know about Riksarkivet where you can find for instance church records for free, https://sok.riksarkivet.se/digitala-forskarsalen. It's possible to chose an English version.
You may have to use special Swedish letters. You find them here, under To write in Swedish, https://www.rotter.se/swedish-roots.
It's also useful to know the difference between Swedish landskap, https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fsv.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FLandskap_i_Sverige&psig=AOvVaw1tFU1VrpqLGe8A8CMthgyd&ust=1601566918545000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCNDige2bkewCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAN and län, https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hhogman.se%2Fkarta-lan-sverige.htm&psig=AOvVaw1tFU1VrpqLGe8A8CMthgyd&ust=1601566918545000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCNDige2bkewCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAR.
The name shall be Olof Leonard Gustaf. Olaf is not a Swedish name. Strangly enough the birth record seems to have the name Olof Linnet Gustaf. Born in Enånger parish, Hälsingland (landskap) but Gävleborg (län). Enångers kyrkoarkiv, Födelse- och dopböcker, SE/HLA/1010035/C/4 (1801-1862), https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0030704_00218.
Anna Sofia the older died October 1, 1861 according to the last column (Död) on the left side in the household examinations rolls. Born in Enånger. Enångers kyrkoarkiv, Födelse- och dopböcker, SE/HLA/1010035/C/4 (1801-1862), https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0030704_00232.
Anna Sofia the younger and her sister Klara Mathilda were not born in Enånger but Söderhamn parish, Hälsingland. Söderhamns kyrkoarkiv, Födelse- och dopböcker, SE/HLA/1010202/C I/4 (1858-1867), https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0032237_00047 and https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0032237_00078.
The parents were both born in Värmland (landskap) and Värmland (län, nowadays).
Olof Gustaf Svanberg in Varnum parish. Kristinehamns kyrkoarkiv, Födelse- och dopböcker, SE/VA/13289/C I/6 (1811-1836), https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0037971_00230.
And so was the eldest child, baptized Maria Carolina. Her father was still called Jansson in the birth record (Svanberg was most likely his soldier's name). Kristinehamns kyrkoarkiv, Födelse- och dopböcker, SE/VA/13289/C I/8 (1837-1860), https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0037972_00248.
Kajsa Ersdotter was born in Östmark parish according to the household examinations rolls. But only birth year is given, 1827, not an exact birth date.
