Researching the Hallberg surname

Researching the Hallberg surname

This morning, I posted the following query on the Ancestry Message Boards > Localities > Scandinavian and Baltic States > Sweden > General 

I found this on MyHeritage for an ancestor of my wife.  I know it references their marriage.

Torparen i Östermo under Östra Grinderum i Frödinge socken Post  FRÖ-V-894 Isacsson Hallberg, Petter Långvikstorp Larsd., Maja Piga Långvikstorp Vigda 1/1 1820 i Frödinge (H)--------------Källa: Frödinge CI:3

1) Are they from Långvikstorp?
2) What does Vigda mean?
3)  The source is Frödinge CI:3.  What is CL:3?
4) Where did they get married - Östermo? Östra Grinderum?  Frödinge?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I have been investigating the Patrik Hallberg Web Site on MyHeritage (I have a subscription). He also has a tree on Ancestry but it does not include sources. The one on MyHeritage does.

Petter Petterson's grandfather was Isac Hallberg Nilsson. Patrik's tree goes back two more generations. Neither his father or grandfather uses Hallberg. The name appears to be documented. Here is the biography included in his profile.

Mikael Persson, a cousin of Carolyn and Jeff,  is going to check whether the sources are from the Hjorted parish records.
Hallberg was his military name. Båtsman is pronounced "boatsman" and translated to boatswain. He was in the Swedish Navy.
