On the 1870 AuSable, Clinton County, NY census, pg16, there is a family listed at the bottom of the page. The name is possibly Rosir/Roser/Rosio. The father John age 25, bn Canada. His wife, Sophia age 17, gives her place of birth as NY. All the children, Rosina, age 2, Frederick, age 1, Madison, age 1 were born in NY. This same family appears on the 1880 Census in Wisconsin with the spelling Rosa/Roso. With the father, John, having been born in Canada, would someone know the French equivalent of his name? Also what province would be the most logical for immigration to the US? If anyone is researching this family, I would appreciate any and all information. .

From Abbe Tanguay's list of surnames. Rosa: First mentioned in 1714 in Quebec. Interesting that the first ones came from Italy - not France. Later this name was sometimes spelt as Rose or Roza. Sometimes the "Dit" name (Alias) Barthelemi was used. Rosir, Roser, Rosio, Rosia are not listed. The closest are: Rosier. Dit St. Michel Rosoir. Dit Monceau Rose. Dit Larose Another possibility is Rousseau, a more common name that could have been changed to Rosa.
