SUMMARY:

The historiography regarding Black slavery in Brazil has a long-standing tradition and is one of the prominent fields in national research. Numerous pages have been written by scholars who have delved into the subject in an attempt to elucidate aspects of this horrific institution, which, through the transatlantic trade of captives, was responsible for the brutal abduction of millions of Africans. Despite the large amount of work on the topic, individuals involved in the human trade and the use of captive labor sought, over time, to hide their involvement in this odious trade that fueled the terrible institution of slavery. To circumvent this concealment, parish records emerge as a body of documents containing data and the names of individuals who were active in this practice and, by baptizing and burying their captives, left traces of their involvement. Additionally, these sources provide information about the enslaved people who were buried. Thus, through the collection and analysis of data from these baptisms and burials, this study aims to understand who these individuals might have been— those who buried and the ones who were buried.
