Mein- burial in Fehmarn, Germany
This is a burial record for Augustin Johann Mein . HE was 16. It is a little long with many names. I think is mother is Margaretha born Witte. I think the coordinates may be where he died. Many people were sailors where he lived. If someone could translate this I would appreciate it.

This death record is for Johannes Andreas Wicher, who died on a ship passage. August Johann Mein apparently is a maritime official in Hamburg (can't read his title properly) who certified the death after reports of the ship's crew.
