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.
