Os negros e indígenas nos registros paroquiais de Miranda/MS em 1825 – 1852.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze Brazilian imperial historical documents from the early 19th century, thus constructing an identity that was formed over the years through parish records in Miranda. It provides guidance for document processing and allows for the use of historiography as a means of analysis and data collection. The documents follow a pattern of parish records that aimed to document enslaved people, Indigenous people, and other terminologies used during this period. The analysis of the sources aims to understand how records were constructed in relation to the inhabitants of the Miranda region, including baptisms, marriages, and death certificates. The use of analytical techniques such as heuristics can help to understand the parish and administrative relationships during this period.
