 Family
(מִשְׁפָּחָה)
Welcome to my genealogy pages. For many years I wanted to
trace my family history back as far as I could, more
specifically, the Rose family history. With all of the
mundane tasks and projects that fill our daily lives, it is
often difficult to find the time to work on a project of this magnitude. With us now
settled in our new (but old) home in the Japanese countryside, I decided it was time to finally tackle this
project.
Please note, this is an ongoing project and I am hoping to
connect with as many family members as possible to make the
Rose genealogical timeline up to date and even more
complete. If you want to discuss anything on this page, or
if you have pictures or stories you would like to share with
other members of the family, please use the Disqus comment
window at the bottom of this page or go to the
contact page for other options.
I am looking forward to speaking with all of you. Until
then.
With love always.

- Memory - his dream of having his children get
together regularly, so that "cousins shouldn't pass each other on the
street and not know they're related" had happened. Lil Saiger adds some
memories: "he would come into the shop behind the store at 797 Dundas
every day, sit and sew buttons at the finishing desk. He liked to be with
his family and it gave him something to do. But every day someone in the
family, or friends would come in and say, "you should be ashamed of yourself
making your old father work in the shop." Eventually, Nusie told his father
not to come in any more -- that the work was too much for him. He went home
and died not 6 months later. He loved being around younger people and was no
trouble around the shop. I can still see him sitting with other finishers
like Jennie, his glasses over his forehead, feeling he was useful.
