The index records Jeannet’s manumission by Lea Henriquez Milliado on 6 October 1826. The case refers to a petition filed on 18 July that year. The interval between petition and recorded freedom reminds us that these records capture administrative pathways, not only the choices or wishes of the person seeking freedom.
