Abstract
We analyze in this study the political and social hierarchic relations, recognized in the baptism sacrament established by Vila Rica de Ouro Preto (Minas Gerais, Brazil) society partners from 1770-1789. To do this we chose the baptism certificates of the Our Lady of Pilar Church and their branch Chapels as testimony of the godparentage relations established and renovated at the baptisms.
