Help with wording clarification
Can someone clarify what the highlighted words are? I'm assuming it's referring to the parish? It looks like "Forskog/Elfsborg"... but where is this? I can't seem to find anything about this. Also, I am secretly hoping it may be referring to Torrskog parish in Sweden.. because that would pin this person down to my family tree since the names and dates match.
I'm familiar with researching in Sweden, but Im not familiar with at all.
Please and thank you .

"Elfsborg Län" (modern spelling: Älvsborg Län) was a county in Western Sweden until 1997 when it was merged into "Västra Götalands Län" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%84lvsborg_County).
Torrskog is located in that county and the birth record of Elin Maria is here:

Thank you! You have confirmed that this is the person I was looking for (the birth record you attached matches what I had). Thank you for the information about Elfsborg, I did not know this and will make a note of this for future reference. Have a great day!

I hope you don't mind my jumping in here. I see that on FamilySearch Tree you have Elin Maria's father as Olof Herman Larsson. Great job!
If you are interested, the Household record for Torrskog shows him here with his family: https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0044019_00184#?c=&m=&s=&cv=183&xywh=-17%2C2259%2C3825%2C1852.
The Household record says he was born in Trankil, Värmland on 9 June 1860. His birth record is here: https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0039180_00155#?c=&m=&s=&cv=154&xywh=2525%2C1834%2C3235%2C1913.
