Kathy,
You have enough information to research these people in Swedish parish records. (Records were kept in the parish, the most important genealogical record in Sweden.) Parish records can most conveniently be seen on the fee-based Genline site. Genline has scanned the handwritten. Swedish parish records. There are various pricing options and frequent special.
Right now there is a ten day offer for about $7. (The offer expires June 19th and remember that June 19th ends hours sooner in Sweden than it does in the U.S.)
Another offer at the moment is about $57 to use Genline until August 31st.
This page shows the various prices.

The people were usually buried in the yard of the church but graves are reused after a certain period of time if the family doesn't pay to keep up the graves.
Ask questions about Swedes in Sweden on the Sweden Genforum board.
