What is Ovraby?

[Rob Swenson]

I have had an excellent response from the Emigrants message board on my great grandfather, Victor Svensson.
Now I would appreciate help on his place of birth.  
 
Ovraby, Soderakra parish, Kalmar Ian (sorry I can't print the extra Swedish letters on this keyboard).
I found Soderakra on the map on this website.
What or where is Ovraby? Is it (was it) a farm or a small suburb? Does it still exist?
 
I would be pleased to hear from a local resident about this place, as I would love to visit there in the future.
 
Regards,
        Rob Swenson

Thanks Sam. I'm very much obliged to yourself and also Mats Carlsson who e-mailed me.  
 
Yes, I've downloaded the the way to get Swedish letters from this forum. Very interesting I must say.
