Anyway, 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.
I have files and photos from way back in the day that stayed in storage until
this year, 2026. I spent a couple of months at the beginning of the year, almost
every day, sorting through literally tens of thousands of computer files, and
scanned over 4,000 recent and old photos. Now I am taking the pieces of the
puzzle and putting them together in an organized and meaningful form.
That said, the following genealogical information was obtained from the book given to
attendees of the Rose Family Club 50th Anniversary Gala, which was held on
September 3, 1995 in Toronto, Canada.
Although the information in the book can mostly be found in public records, I
tried to find Sheldon Rose (the compiler of the book) to get permission but to
no avail. I decided to publish this information here anyway since most of it is
itself not copyrighted. Regarding this information, the following should be
noted:
Information for living individuals has been limited for
privacy.

 My
Motivation
Recently
my wife and our kids have shown a lot of interest in their ancestors. This was
my main motivation for doing this project. These pages are dedciated to the
family members who came before and made sacrifices and went through tough times
in order to bring us to where we are today.
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 have pictures or stories you
would like to share with other members of the family please let me know at the
contacts listed above.
I am looking forward to speaking with all of you. Until then.

PROLOGUE
This is definitely not the great Canadian (or American) novel. What follows over
the next
number of pages is a chronological history of The Rose Family, as detailed by
the submitted
information. This rather ambitious effort began when Anna Mae sent out
questionnaires to
all the Aunts, Uncles and cousins at least 2 years ago ---- the information is
still coming in. I
volunteered to input the information, little knowing what was to come. The
dates, events,
personal reminiscences and anecdotes have formed quite a pile on my desk for the
last 6
months or more. But as I inserted more and more items, it got increasingly
fascinating. This
prompted me to search out additional information. It seemed as though each fact
begged
another question.
Almost every piece of information found its way into the text. I hope that
nothing submitted
was overlooked or incorrectly presented. The historical notes inserted from
"time to time"
may provide some historical perspective to help us understand where we've been
and even
where we're going.
Thanks to all the members of the planning committee for suggestions, ideas and
encouragement. Thanks also to my dear wife Ruth, a most capable production
assistant and
proofreader, to my son Laurence for his computer skills, to my daughter Barbara
and son-in-
law Robert for their expertise in helping to format the text and to the whole
family for
providing these facts which surely made this a labour of love.
By the way, aren't you just a little curious, wondering what on earth the title
of this booklet
means? Well, I was told not long ago that our late cousin Sarah was planning to
write a book
about The Rose Family. It was to be appropriately named MGM -- My Guntze
Mishpocha.

“to all of us, let me tell you, we come from good stuff. We make ourselves
belong. We are survivors. We feel. We care. We are warm and loving. Our emotions
run deep. We, as our parents, do not always do the right thing. We make
mistakes. But we are here if you need us. We care.”
