I did not find a specific group for Swedish research but that is what I'm currently focused on. My 5th Great Grandfather was born 14 Feb 1718 in Vreta kloster, Östergötland, Sweden. I found his birth record but I'm having trouble reading it

since I don't read Swedish. Can you help me with this. I would like to know about his parents who are likely mentioned in the record.

 

Thank you

I am going to assume that you are asking about the last entry on the page-Olof.

It reads:

The 14th of February in the morning born Jöns Jönsson's son in Lida

baptized (christened) the 16th of the same month and called (referring to the name in the right column) Olof. The rest of the names are the woman who held the child at the font for the christening-Maria Boræn (I think), followed by the witnesses or godparents. The mother's name is not mentioned.
