I've never read anything about Ignatius being a converso, or from a converso family.
He's always been well known as a Basque. As were many early Jesuits (the most notorious being St. Francis Xavier).
Both on his maternal and paternal sides he came from low Basque nobility. His father's family even had a Etxe (an ancient basque manor, where the core of a clan was based).
