Pires Ferreira family

The Pires Ferreira family is a family from Brazil created in 1725 with the arrival of Domingos Pires Ferreira in Recife. The family quickly rose in importance, specially on Maranhão and Piauí regions.

The Pires Ferreira family has four main branches: the pernambucanos (from Pernambuco), maranho-piauienses (from Maranhão and Piauí), paulistas (from São Paulo) and baianos (from Bahia). Up until 2025, more than 39,000 members of Pires Ferreira family were catalogued.
