Swedish?

I know it's incredibly unlikely, but is anyone on my flist able to read Swedish? Especially handwritten, older Swedish? I have a genealogical document (a screencap from a register listing names, births and places) from the mid-1800s I could use some help with.

I don't, but I do know someone Finnish, who has functional Swedish, so I could ask them. (Finland spent much of its history being a province of Sweden, to the point where many places have two names, the Swedish one and the Finnish one.)

No results guaranteed, but if you don't get any better offers then I can ask for you.

Thanks for the offer, there are still some places I can try, but if those don't pan out I might do that. Thanks a lot.
