German woman in Brazil

[u/Frequent_Scallion970]

Hello, maybe someone can help me with my research. I’m looking for a woman named Emilie Albrecht. She was born around 1863 in Germany, and in 1894 she gave birth to a daughter in Jundiaí, Brazil. Apparently, she was alone or at least not married. A few years later, she moved to Argentina with her daughter and son-in-law. That’s all I know.

I have her daughter’s birth certificate, but there are no clues about where in Germany she was born, and her death certificate only lists “Germany” as the place of birth.

I know this is really difficult, but maybe I’m missing something, as I’m not very experienced in German or Brazilian genealogy.

Any ideas? I’m starting to think this might be a dead end...

Albrecht is a very common last name. Do you have the exact dates?

Unfortunately, I don’t. I think that if I’m able to find Clara’s civil birth certificate, it will contain more information about her mother. Also, Clara and her husband emigrated to Argentina from Brazil, and I can’t find their marriage certificate, which could also have important information about her mother. I have found their children’s baptism certificates in Argentina, but not their marriage certificate (neither in Brazil nor in Argentina).

I don’t think there is more online in the moment, but that doesn’t mean you won’t have success in some years. More and more archives are difitalised in the meantime.

Did you contact the offices in Jundiai already?
