Coast guard?

Birth record of Carolina Bernhardina - daughter of Carl Martin Meuller and Agnetha Börjesdotter 17 March 1838. ArkivDigitial: Söndrum (N) CI:4 (1820-1845) Image: 910 Page: 175. v93462a.b910.s175

 

Is the record telling me Carl Martin is with the coast guard?

    I checked a few historic dictionaries and didn't find an exact match. Svenska Akademiens Ordbok (SAO) didn't have the word kustopplysningsman but it does have kustuppsyningsman which has a similar root meaning. It shows kustuppsyningsman was a term found in a book called Svensk författnings samling from 1831 and was listed as a position within the customs authorities. It was an under officer with the coast guard. See https://www.saob.se/artikel/?seek=kust-uppsyningsman&pz=6#U_K3133_164301
