SPECIAL NOTICE TO MEMBERS

WONDERFUL VIDEO AVAILABLE!!

A very well-done video of a line from John and Rebecca (Bowen) Rose family of Wolfe Co., KY was prepared and narrated by member Gary Barker for the use of Rose descendants. It is about 10 minutes. Immediate following it is another video of the Barker family which can be watched but Gary tells us he could not separate them. Just stop the video after the Rose segment if you wish, or watch both. We cannot image the time and thought it took to prepare this. Perhaps it will give others ideas for their own family. We thank Gary for sharing this! Let us know your thoughts.

--------------------------------------------------------------

The Rose Family Association is not for one particular family of Rose; it includes records for Roses who lived nationwide. This website is not intended to cover all the material in possession of the Rose Family Association, for that material is far too voluminous. The Association has vast records - the website only represents a very minute fraction of the collection. Inquire to the Association with details of your family. Include name of the earliest known Rose, dates (or approximate dates), and locations where they lived. Every effort will be made to try to assist. No charge for answering inqueries. If we have a book or a research report, we will quote and you decide whether to get it. If we don't, we'll try to at least provide some leads.

History of the Organization

The Rose Family Bulletin) is full of Rose family information including wills, war files, biographies, census, marriages, photos, queries, war rosters, manuscript items, news items, obituaries, membership lists, lineages, etc. Editor is Christine Rose, CG, CGL, FASG, founder of the organization, together with Seymour T. Rose, Associate Editor. Over fifty-five years has been devoted to researching the Rose families of the United States, all nationalities.

Records of the Association

The Association collected hundreds of thousands of records and many photocopies of original documents including Bible records, pension files, wills, deeds, marriages, family records, etc. The information on this website only reflects a very few of the Rose records as it is not possible to list them all. Editors have personally researched in over 500 courthouses, and make data available through Courthouse research reports. There is NO CHARGE for editors to look up information from the voluminous Rose items. If it is determined that there is a courthouse report or a family research report available on the family, a quote will be given advising of the cost of the reports (which range from $13.00 to $20.00 depending upon the family). There is no obligation to purchase any report.

It had 24- 26 pages per issue, indexed each issue, and contains important items for Rose research such as marriages, census, biographies, estates, military files, queries, new members, lineages of members, photographs, Bible records, and more.

Rose Family Reports

The Association has available over 200 compiled family reports. These reports usually cover 3-5 generations of the family (sometimes more), and include all the known information. they are not family sheets; they are compiled abstracts from such items as wills, deeds, civil records, census, military files, tombstones, federal land records, etc. Very often they include information obtained by editors from personal trips to the courthouses; also records from a variety of other sources, as well as records of descendants. The price of the reports usually range from $12.00 to $20.00, depending upon the size of the report. Let us know the family you seek, and we will advise you whether we have a report available. (No obligation!) Go to the itemized listing at Rose Family Reports.

Courthouse Reports

Editors have been to over 500 courthouses, and offer Courthouse research reports from many of them. These listings are now available on this website with a further description.

Activities

This assists the Association in being able to keep track of the inquiries and responses.

Forum

The Association does not maintain a forum. For years Rose queries were instead posted to GenForum's ROSE page but unfortunately that has now been discontinued. Those postings however can still be accessed though not in the same form, at genealogy.com. Try going to www.genforum.com/Rose and then following the links. Fill out their search form for the "forum" of "Rose."
