Comments And Suggestions
TAXATION There are various types of tax records in the archives of Brazil. They give names, residences, dates of payments of tributes or taxes, and sometimes names of spouses or children. Some may indicate races and marital statuses.
At the present, tax lists have not been filmed for Brazil. If you need this type of record you will have to refer to local public archives in Brazil.
