Help translate German record?
I am looking at #43 (above link and below .jpg) and ask for help with translating all the unknown words (columns 2, 5, 7) for baptism of Johann Wilhelm, 22 Oct 1838, Illegit?, father Johann Bernard Kohrman, mother Johanna Schmitz, from Lankern, by Vicar, sponsors Johann Heinrich Schmitz and Johanna Kohrmann. (The parents were married 6 Nov 1838.)
Death record of Bernard Schlatt, widower of Gertrud Evers, Ackermann in Loikum, age 66, ???, died 11 January, ???, ???, buried 15 January 1866
THANK YOU very much for your time, expertise and help!

One last thought about translation is a reminder that Google Translate is available on the internet to help translate phrases from many languages into English. This is often a quick way to take care of simple translation concerns. We wish you the best in your continued research efforts. We noticed as we went to the website where you found the record you wish to translate, that Chrome does populate an option to always translate the pages from this site from German to English. Here is a screen shot of what we discovered in the Chrome browser. [We don't know if this option is available through other browsers.]
