History
EPHRAIMSZEGEN was a Surinamese plantation in the Beneden-para region.
In 1863, the year of emancipation, 6 enslaved people were registered at EPHRAIMSZEGEN. This made it the #198 largest plantation in Suriname (top 9%). Their descendants — who in 1863 received a family name for the first time — are spread across the Caribbean and the global diaspora today.
