The database records Dorothea Ignees as emancipated as Dorothea Ignees Bremer. It identifies her as a washerwoman and lists four children, including Zoraida Epifania and Anton, as well as siblings. Her entry provides a rare route to reconstructing a family across generations, although the source still reflects official classification rather than Dorothea’s own testimony. The database dates this emancipation to 1 July 1863.
