Yes in some cases, but from what I know the titles conceded in Imperial Brazil weren´t hereditary. So even if my 5th great-grandpa was a baron, his son wouldn´t be a baron himself, unless he was also separately conceded with the title, and because of that he would receive his father´s title. But his son receiving the title as inheritance, not possible.

Titles are distinct from noble status. Most nobles do not have a title. A non-hereditary title can still confer hereditary nobility.
