Records in Sweden were kept on the local level, so you'll need to look in England and U.S. records to determine what his Swedish hometown was before looking in Swedish records (in the tree, he's listed as born in Göteborg och Bohus, which is a county*). You can find suggestions as to how to find the town of origin at the following page: https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Sweden_Finding_Town_of_Origin
* There are some parishes within the county of Göteborg och Bohus that include "Göteborg" in their name, so if you believe Göteborg was also his home city, he could be from one of these parishes:
- Göteborg
- Göteborgs Amiralitet
- Göteborgs Gamlestad
- Göteborgs Garnison
- Göteborgs Gustavi
- Göteborgs Haga
- Göteborgs Karl Johan
- Göteborgs Kristine
- Göteborgs Masthugg
- Göteborgs Mosaiska
- Göteborgs Tyska
You can see more information about the county and various collections that may prove useful at https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/G%C3%B6teborg_och_Bohus_County,_Sweden_Genealogy
