Dear SelmaWhen you have time to read, see these 2 attached, where the

translate it.

Dear John,
Since you've been through 100s of these certificates, perhaps you care to
hazard a guess as to how these terms were used in 19th century Goa and if at
all they corresponded to caste. The other genealogist I work with and our
common friend says they are difficult to put into context or draw some sort of
coherent conclusion. Certainly, a job for the academics.
Take care,Selma

Hi Selma
Just saw this
If it is of any help, Among the penitents list by the Inquisition are 89 whose
ethnicity/occupation are given as trabalhador. They include Sudros, Bramenes,
Charados, Curumbims. Hope to put this data up soon so anyone interested can
access and use

Dear Selma. As you know caste and economic conditions do not necessarily
coincide. I would say he could be a Brahmin but my advice is that you check
with a genealogist like Valmiki at this forum. Dependent of where his family
comes from there may be the possibility of throwing some light on the matter.
My perception is that migration to Africa was dominated by upper caste/people
with minimum financial conditions. Moving so far was costly. But I am not a
specialist.

Thank you so much Sandra and Susana. Yes, that would be consistent,
trabalhadores is stated in a 1869 baptism certificate and empregado occurs in
certificates I've been looking up starting from the 1920s.
Now, there is one more conundrum to resolve. Let us assume Mr X, is noted as a
trabalhadores in his son's baptism certificate. Is it also possible that X is
upper-caste? Because every other signifier for this man is that he is
upper-caste. He goes to Zanzibar, holds an job there with an influential
British mercantile firm, he educates his son to be a doctor, who rises to the
upper-echelons of Portuguese consular positions. Is it possible for 19th
century Goa /Zanzibar to have provided such upward mobility? Also he is part of
a group of Goans in Zanzibar who are all Portuguese speaking Goans, and his
closest friends there are known brahmins. I'm trying to wrap my head around all
this. (This is not a post about caste, but the machinations of caste in 19th
century Goan-Zanzibari society.)
Any input would be appreciated.
Warm wishes,
Selma

Yes, you are right but I would say that in 19th century empregado would be
more used for white colour and business employees.

Hi Selma
They are essentially the same; it depends on the specific historical period you
are referring to. During a particular time frame, the term 'trabalhadores' was
commonly used. I believe this change occurred sometime in the 20th century,
possibly after the 1930sor 40’s when the word 'trabalhador' was replaced by
'empregados'. However, it would be beneficial to consult a contemporary history
specialist who could provide more accurate information. Nowadays, 'trabalhador'
is used as a sociological category, and 'empregado' has been substituted with
the term 'funcionário’.

Dear Pedro,
You are absolutely right. Indeed, there is this occupation jornaleiro which
appears particularly for women and it seemed odd because when translated it
translates to journalist, and it seemed odd that there would be so many
journalists in remote villages in Goa :-) Thank you for clearing this up.
I wonder if anyone would care to elaborate the exact difference between
trabalhadores and empregado. I'm assuming trabalhadores would be working class
employee and empregado a white collar office worker.
Take care,
selma

Dear Selma
On some baptism certificates you will find the word «jornaleiro» which means
«daily wage worker».
For example,… filho de João Rodrigues, profissão jornaleiro (son of João
Rodrigues, daily wage worker).
There are people who mistake it for journalist.
Em alguns certificados de batismo encontrará a palavra «jornaleiro» que
significa «trabalhador pago ao dia».
Por exemplo,… filho de João Rodrigues, profissão jornaleiro. Há pessoas que a
confundem com jornalistas.

Dear Selma
Trabalhadores refers to individuals who are employed by someone, typically a
company, and receive compensation for their work. This term is commonly used in
Portuguese baptismal certificates to indicate the occupation of the workers or
laborers within a factory, for instance.
Hope this helps

Dear all,
Need some help in interpreting 'trabalhadores' on baptism certificates. While
proprietários and lavrador de palmeiras is easy to interpret, how may I
interpret trabalhadores, especially if they were well off enough to send their
son to Edinburgh for higher education in the 1800s.
many thanks,
selma
