I don't know anyone here called Rosa here but I think Rosa as a Spanish surname was shortened a few generations ago from de la Rosa so maybe you should look for that one too. You can try http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.rosa/15/mb.ashx and http://genforum.genealogy.com/rosa/ too. ¡Buena suerte! Hi.

Family name is Rosa and our people (as far as we can find official records of) are from a town in Puerto Rico many of whose original inhabitants came from the Canary Islands. Some family lore says our folks are from Llanes, in Asturia, Spain. We don't know. Trouble is, so far we haven't been able to link with any Rosa family in either Canary Islands or Spain. Question, is the Rosa surname common in the Canaries? Thanks... We’re looking for ancestors!
