The huge Rose collection consisting of about 1200 files (Family Files, Location Files, etc.), 50 manuscripts, 20 books, 14 scrapbooks, complete set of the quarterly Rose Family Bulletin and the quarterly Newsletter and other important ROSE records have been transferred to the New England Historic Genealogic Society in Boston, Massachusetts. Be sure to read about this by going to the Members Only corner of the website. [Click on Members, then on Members Only.] IMPORTANT NOTE: We do have copies of all the reports so contact us with information on the "problem" generation and we'll do what we can to help. SPECIAL NOTICE TO MEMBERS As announced in the December 2017 issue, after 52 years we ceased publication of the quarterly. HOWEVER, we will continue to make some postings to the Members Corner of our website. There will be no charge for access if you are a 2017 permanent member. 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.

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.

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. Rose Family Bulletin This quarterly magazine was published since 1966 through 2017.
