Who is Father of Anna Elisabeth, born 1876-02-12 in Tryserum (Kalmar, Sweden)

I am trying to sort out who is the father of Anna Elisabeth Andersson, #G95N-XBJ. Her mother, Johanna Charlotta Andersdotter, LY5M-YQR, born 1847-08-05 in Ostra Ed, married in 1877 Anders Gustaf Jansson, born 1823. But when I look at the birth/baptism record in Tryserum, it seems to list a different father (but I am not sure I am reading it right). Here is a link in Arkivdigital.net to the birth record:

ArkivDigital: Tryserum (E, H) C:7 1870-1894 Image 86, #14 on the page.

I am confused at what the baptism record says, and I may be misinterpreting godparents or something. Can someone take a look and advise?

Anna Elisabeth generally appears with her mother in household examinations; however one shows her with Gustaf Adolf Gustafsson 1854-08-03 - just the two of them. Here is a link: ArkivDigital: Anna Elisabeth, born 1876-02-12 BiS (Population of Sweden) 1800-1947

Who is Gustaf Adolf Gustafsson and what does he have to do with Anna Elisabeth?

The Anna Elisabeth that your link refers to is born on 16 January 1878. Your correct Anna Elisabeth (b. 12 Feb. 1876) is here (entry #11): https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/A0007500_00066#?c=&m=&s=&cv=65&xywh=548%2C161%2C3191%2C2047. It is an illegitimate birth and no father is listed.

The birth record refers to page 264 in the "old book" which is here: https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0028826_00237#?c=&m=&s=&cv=236&xywh=160%2C2452%2C3622%2C1770. This lists "Dr (dräng = farmhand or bachelor) Gustaf Adolph Gustafsson" on the line above Anna Elisabeth, but there is not any relationship mentioned. This record indicates that he moved to page 146 in 1875 and when I look there, Anna Elisabeth is not there, so I am sure that it is just a coincidence that Anna and Gustaf are listed on the same page (264).

Anna Elisabeth's mother, Johanna Charlotta Andersdotter, is listed on line 17 in the above household exam record, right under Anna's name.
