[Judy Olson Baouab]

This person has the same birthdate, given names and title (torparson = son of a torpare = tenant farmer. See the url for the article listed below to learn a better definition of torpare. (I am assuming that you wrote his birthdate the American way, so that would mean May 8, and not the Swedish way, which would mean 5 August.) He also came from Blekinge. They probably used the name Borg after emigrating.
 
Information comes from the Emibas CD, made from registrations in the Swedish parish to go to a foreign country.
 
Hustru = wife. Torpardotter means daughter of a torpare.

We are supposed to put our first and last names in the part where you put Borg - Torparson. Look at the instructions for using Anbytarforum.
 
http://aforum.genealogi.se/discus/board-instructions-engelska.html
 
Then fill in your full name in the space marked Användarnamn.
 
I checked for the husförhörslängd (a parish record also written as HFL, clerical survey record, household examination record) for the time period they left but those records aren't yet on Genline, a fee-based site which scans the records. (These are NOT transcriptions.) I did find them listed in the HFL for 1875-1883. If you join Genline, you can see their record at this page.

The parents were married 5 October 1865.
 
The information is the same as on Emibas, but another child was also listed.

Yngling = youth, young man.
 
Children were born about every two years and ther are some gaps, so you will need to do some checking in the Swedish parish records to see if there are any more.
 
To confirm that this is your family, it is best to check in U.S. records. The place most helpful to me in confirming birth parishes and in learning more about the family in the U.S. has been the Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center. They have a website but their extensive records are not online.
