description This article starts from the analysis of a criminal case from the last decade of the 19th century, which has as its defendant a European immigrant who performed the job of a midwife in the capital of Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre. Conflicts between immigrants who arrived in Brazil with professional qualification was one of the aspects that marked the trajectory of those women who needed to guarantee social insertion, win customers and prestige in society. The midwives' work was broad, going beyond that linked only to childbirth assistance, since they were knowledgeable about the diverse knowledge and practices that came from popular medicine and that taught in universities. One of the main objectives of the work is to indicate the possibilities of using judicial documents to advance studies related to the fields of action of immigrant women in urban realities. Thus, it starts from the analysis of specific situations to apprehend the logics that guided the behaviors, perceptions, expectations, and controls, with the nominative data being taken as conducting threads to map individual and collective paths in other documentary sources. By crossing the information extracted from different documents, it is possible to apprehend in a complex way the activities, articulations, choices, successful or failed, and performances that mark the experiences and the work of immigrant midwives in Brazil.
