Malmstedt family in Nås, Kopparberg, 1850-60s. Where are they??

[Barbara Webb]

Hello,  
 
I thought I had correct parish information on a Malmstedt family, but now I cannot find them in the Genline parish records for Nås. Is there a Nås parish other than Kopparberg? Or, I know Malmstedt is an unusual name, is it possible they were using a patrynomic name in the records?
 
I believe the father's name is Johan, but am not sure. This information is from microfilm SAKA 633B:1, p. 34.

At Swenson Swedish Immigration Center here in town, I checked Kopparberg Nås parish birth records.  I didn't find them either.  
I found that in Gotland, Jämtland, and Skaraborg are parishes called Näs.
 
I did check all 4 counties for emigration summaries for 1872 (the year of emigration as written in Zion Lutheran at Marinette, WI) but I did not found your people.
 
I checked early NY arrivals for Britta in the hopes of finding her but no luck.  She may have changed her surname when she got here.  Emigranten cd was checked for Britta born 13 Jan 1834 departing but nobody with that birth date so nothing there.
 
Perhaps this info will help somebody else find something of value.  Those other Näs parish records are not here at Swenson.
 
Good luck,
Chuck
