This information might cheer Jim Ferreira up, after his name was linked to a villian. In South Africa the Ferreira family is large and well thought of – Ignatius Ferreira from Lisbon, arrived in South Africa in 1696. He arrived on the English ship Chandos. In 16/11/1735 he married Martha Terblanche and they had 12 children. The family assimilated completely into the Afrikaner nation, with their antecedants mainly Afrikaans speaking.
