What is the birth location for Charles Albert Swanson (27D3-6NB)?
I have located a Lutheran Church record in Iowa on Ancestry that gives his birth date and location for Charles Albert (Alrick?) Swanson but I can't decipher the parish and county. I have tried to match what is written with lists on the Sweden Research WIKI with no luck. I'd appreciate any help in identifying the parish and county for Charles. I have attached the link in Ancestry to the image. Thanks for your help.

I see the place written as Jällstad, Elfsb. county, which could be a misspelling of Hällstad, Gällstad, or Hällestad parish in Älvsborg county (Älvsborg sounds like Elfsb[org]). I couldn't find his birth in the Hällstad parish, so I tried the Gällstad parish, and there he is listed as being born on 5 July 1863, which matches the record you have! His birth record is on image 16 of the 1861-1889 Gällstad birth/baptismal book (linked). His is the first entry on the page.

It's Gällstad
He's Clas/Klas/Claes Alarik Svensson son of Sven Johansson and Johanna Sofia Larsdotter
