The series of "Registre des déclarations où il n'y a que des actes de domesticité", which includes records on taxes over the transfer of goods and others from 1761 to 1763 (C 4880-4904) contains references to members of the Portuguese nation of Bordeaux, such as Moïse Lopez (C 4898) and Naphtali-Lattard de Roze (C 4899, fol. 39v).
