Abstract:
This work presents questions about the relationships between compadres in the district of
Pocinhos during the period between 1927 and 1930. The aim is to understand the relationships
between these individuals and the social structure at the end of the First Brazilian Republic. To
achieve this, the study applied the serialization method to the baptism records of the local parish
church. In addition to a qualitative approach, the data received statistical and quantitative
treatment, as well as the structuring of social networks. Contrary to the initial hypothesis, the
results did not provide evidence that a significant portion of the population chose influential
individuals from a political-economic standpoint as their compadres.
