Through specific techniques of historical demography, the space under study was known as the population composition . Nominally crossing data of cartorial documentation and parish records were created social networks which revealed some of the relational patterns of this elite. As results, were noted social relationships the involved within and outside members from families of these slaveholding elite, which were consequences of distinct strategies and thus it has to be examined separately.

Finally, have been noted significant differences in intergenerational practice of godparentage, which demonstrates the importance in analyzing this practice jointly the life cycle.
