The Unofficial Herwijnen Homepage
"A trip into the past . . . "

This site is dedicated to Herwijnen history and its people. Aldert Roosa and his wife, Wyntje de Jongh, were originally from this village in Holland.

This web site is very interesting and contains genealogical information on the Roosa Family in Holland. "A must- see!" The web site was created by Marco Shelling and Valentine Van Zee.

Roosa Coat of Arms

The Roosa genealogy mentions a somewhat mythical descent for the Roosa family, namely that they had fled on account of religious persecutions from the town of Roosa in Spain. Modern day map indicates a town of Reus in the province of Tarragona near the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, about 120 south of France.

The pedigree originated at a time when the majority of the Dutch families preferred a descent from foreign lands rather than acknowleding their less illustrious hard-working Dutch forebears who by their industry had made theirmore opulent descendents ancestor-conscious. Even Van Rychhuysendoubted the truth of these statementsand suggested that it was a family, possibly originally named De Roos,which had lived many generations at Herwynen.

The genealogy gives the arms of the family, three roses - Gules. No crest is mentioned. These arms are, therefore, those of the American family. These sample Coats-of-Arms are from Roosa researchers in America and Holland.
