Need Help: emergency baptized.

Hi

I’m not sure about NOTHGETAUFE. It’s a microfilmed record, so I can’t show you. Ten children in one family either were stillborn or lived for a short time.

Here it is used in the record:

… geboren und NOTHGETAUFT ein Kind männlichen Geschlechts.

… born & emergency baptized a male gendered child.

I’m sure about the getauft, but not about the prefix.

I know it is quick baptism by the midwife as the child lived just a few hours.

What do you think?

Thank you!

    "not(h)getauft" means emergency baptized. Nottaufe = emergency baptism.

    The noun is die Not = distress, need, emergency

    The child was obviously very weak at birth and was baptized immediately by the midwife.
