I need some help reading this record
My 6th GGrandparents Anders Larsson and Karen Andersson had at least 4 children as far as I can find but i think there might be one missing between the years 1705 and 1709. There are no household exam records that early in Ostervala, Vastmanland so I have to depend on the birth records which are really hard to read. Those years are found:

Could some one take a look at the records and see if Anders and Karen had a child that might have died very young?

I think this may be who you are looking for. I am attaching an image so you can find it in Arkivdigital if you would rather have a color image.
The record reads:
The 21st of December Christened Anders Larsson('s) and wife Carin Andersdotter's (in) Bragbo, legitimate child Kristin born the 16th Dito (same month). Witnesses/godparents follow.
Hopefully, the other children can be linked to this place (Bragbo or Bragebo)-that connection will ensure that this is the correct family.

Thank you Norm, that is the right family. They did live in Bragdebo. My problem is there is a space of 4 years inbetween Kersten's birth in 1705 and the next child Anders, born 28 may 1709 and since I haven't access to a Household Exam or survey I feel there may be another child in there I'm missing. Would you be willing to look at the births in those years to see if there was a child born to Anders Larsson and Karen Andersson?

Sorry about that!
I was able to find the family in Family Search Tree and so then looked between August 1706 (the earliest another child could have been born) until August 1708 (the latest another child could have been born), and didn't find any child born to Anders Larsson and Karen Andersdotter.
I am not sure how much you have looked, but this parish priest had an interesting way of organizing the births, marriages and deaths. A birth is noted with the word "Doop" or, sometimes, "Dop" in the left or right column. A marriage is noted with the word "Wixel" and a death/burial is noted by what looks like the word "Lyh" or something similar. I looked first in the births but noticed that stillborn children were in the deaths/burials. Still didn't find the birth or death/burial of a child to them.
I did however, find the burial of Carin Andersdotter. She died 25 March 1706 in Bragbo and was buried either 1 or 2 April (I think it is 2, but can't quite be positive). She is on page 52 on the right-hand page about the middle. Her age is 3 3/4 years old-so that fits with the FST information.
