Analisamos neste artigo as relações políticas e sociais formalizadas no sacramento de batismo entre os membros da elite vilarriquenha, no período de 1777-1789. Para tanto, escolhemos os registros de batismo da paróquia de Nossa Senhora do Pilar do Ouro Preto e de suas capelas filiais, como testemunhos do estabelecimento e renovação dos laços de compadrio. 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
