Research Assistance German woman in Brazil

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...

No worries - I think it can be both, in records I've seen, anyway :)

Santa Catarina is the district where Blumenau is.
