Wanderley is a prominent Brazilian family with origins extending back to 15th-century Holland, before establishing itself in Brazil during the colonial period. The family's history begins with Jarichs van der Ley, a landowner in the small village of Laij or Ley, first recorded in 1480. His son, Hendrick Jarichs van der Ley (1530-?), played a notable role in Dutch history, signing the Dutch Act of Abjuration (the Dutch declaration of independence) in 1579 as a representative of the province of Friesland. The lineage continued with Jan Hendrick van der Ley (1567-?), Hendrick's son, and subsequently with Georgius van der Ley (1607-?), a lawyer born in Friesland . These early members laid the groundwork for the family's 17th century migration to Brazil, specifically to Caspar von Neuhof van der Ley, a military officer from Gummersbach. . The family has played a significant role in the social, political, and cultural life of Brazil, particularly in the northeastern region Origins Caspar van der Ley was born in Cleves, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, into a noble Calvinist family. He was the son of Field Marshal Willhelm von Neuhoff van der Ley and Marie Anne von Omphal. Caspar served as a cavalry captain in the Dutch West India Company during the Dutch occupation of Brazil. Establishment in Brazil After converting to Catholicism, Caspar Wanderley married Maria de Melo, daughter of Manuel Gomes de Melo and Adriana Luísa de Almeida. Their descendants formed the basis of the Wanderley family in Brazil. Cultural and Political Influence The Wanderley family became known for its both intellectual and political significant contributions to Brazilian society. Key Descendants: João Maurício Wanderley: Cavalry captain, sugarcane plantation owner, and Knight of the Order of Christ. Manuel Gomes Wanderley: also an owner of a sugarcane plantation. Adriana de Almeida Wanderley: Married to captain André de Barros Rego. Family Motto The Wanderley family carries a distinct motto and tradition, reflecting their historical origins and enduring values: "SEY TALTYDT VAN EENDERLEY SIN" (Be always of one mind/Be always a Wanderley). This Dutch motto, dating back over four centuries, emphasizes the family's commitment to continuity and unity. It acts as a herladic prophecy, that there will always be a Wanderley.
