Hi! The old village where the FERREIRA family house is nowadays goes by the name of Herrera de Rupisverga in Spain. It looks like the old name was HERRERA. The first one was Álvaro Rodrigues Ferreira, in the kingdom of Leão, old Spain; he lived around 1170. He served under Portuguese King D. Sancho I.

Best regards, Nancy Jean _____ From: <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] To: <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] Subject: RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Surname Ferro Date: Sun, 6 Apr 2014 14:15:29 +0000 Just to help to clarify a bit... FERREIRA as a surname is a very old one coming from old Spain. It doesn't mean blacksmith. It is what is called a "patronymic". The word FERREIRO is the one referring to a Blacksmith. It is in the masculine gender because, at those times, there were no woman blacksmiths. It was a men profession.´ As an example you will have always men and women named: FERREIRA. If you see a men named FERREIRO it is for sure that it is a nickname and that he does not belong to any FERREIRA Family. Hope it helps to clarify!
