People of Faith: Slavery and African Catholics in Eighteenth-Century Rio de Janeiro

Appendix

appendix \ The following tables provide general demographic data for the city of Rio de Janeiro and for each parish, based in the collection of Livros de Batismo de Escravos housed by the acmrj. They show the total of 9,578 records collected (table 14) and the 9,269 records used for further calculations (table 15), according to parish. Until the seventeenth century the city of Rio de Janeiro had only one parish. In 1632 it was subdivided in two parishes: Sé (See) and Candelária. For decades between 1718 and 1750 the only available volumes were those of the Parish of Sé; those of Candelária were lost or destroyed (tables 16 and 17). In 1751 the city was subdivided into four parishes: Sé, Candelária, São José, and Santa Rita. For the decade of 1751–60 I worked on the four urban parishes (tables 18, 19, 20, 21). 242 | Appendix Table 14.
