Yes we are lucky. I discovered the same kind of records in early Nordeste. It appears in the early days, more affluent people bought plots and were buried in the church. As time went by their descendants couldn't afford their own plots so families asked that they be buried in the plots of their ancestors. Eventually everyone was buried in the public cemetery.
