 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 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
click here to obtain contact information.
I am looking forward to speaking with all of you. Until then.

Hebrew name in Israel that symbolizes a blessing or a token of appreciation.
In Hebrew"Shai" implies a thoughtful present. It is distinct from other
words for gift (like matana) by often having a more poetic or elevated tone.
While it literally means gift, it is commonly used to mean "gift from God"
in religious or spiritual contexts. The name is meant to honor his
grandparent Stuart Hayman. The name Maxwell is meant to honor his
great-grandparent Max Rose. |
