About Aletta Maria Catharina Ignasina Welensky
After ten years, largely passed in the West, Michael Welensky, having heard of the Diamond Fields at Kimberley, took ship for the Cape. He arrived in 1881, having lately become an American Citizen and, discovering that the diamond market had slumped, became a successful trader in ostrich feathers. He found his way to Willowmore, not far from Oudtshoorn, and there met his fate. Aletta Ferreira became his wife at the age of 17 and, since her husband regarded himself as Jewish, herself became converted and took the name of Leah.
