Hej Sandy -

The mother's last name does not match your information, but otherwise it looks like a
very good fit. Of course, you will have to check the original parish records for Madesjö
to be sure.
Oskar's father and the other children were born in Madesjö; his mother was born in
Oskar, Kalmar län, Småland (the smolen you mention appears to be a phonetic misspelling of
Småland).
Hope this helps -
