Aeldert Heymensz was born in Herwijnen, Gelderland, in about 1618. No record of his baptism or birth has been located.
According to Engel Roza in De Herwijnse Ro(o)sa’s en de herkomst van hun familienaam, the earliest record of Aeldert Heymensz Roosa is the record of the 1655 baptism of his daughter Neelke, which also names his wife Wijlke Ariens de Jongh. That record identifies him with his patronymic name. The first record that shows him with the family name of Roosa is a deed on 3 March 1660.[1]
A(e)l(d)ert Heymensz wordt het eerst genoemd in de doopakte van zijn dochter Neelke in 1655, waar we ook in lezen dat zijn vrouw Wijlke Ariens de Jongh heet. De eerste aanwijzing dat ook Aeldert de familienaam Ro(o)sa gaat voeren wordt gevonden in de volgende akte:[1]
Translated: A(e)l(d)ert Heymensz is mentioned for the first time in the baptismal certificate of his daughter Neelke in 1655, where we also read that his wife is called Wijlke Ariens de Jongh. The first indication that Aeldert will also carry the Ro(o)sa family name later is found in the following deed:
3 maart 1660; Alen Heymensz Roosa nabuer tot Herwijnen heeft vercoft en opgedragen voor de helfte van vier mergen lants onverscheijden end onverdeijlt met de erven van Govert Ariensz de Jongh inne den gerichte van Hellouw binnen den paelgraeft gelegen tusschen lant van Jasper Geritz oost en Gerardt Falcken west streckende ten zuijden aen lant van willem Jansz cum suis end ten noorden <...> off soo wie en met laste van acht voeten schoordijcks gelegen inne den gerichte van Herwijnen beneden het middel van elk hoeft ende met de helfte van eens thijns van acht gulden jaerlicxs d’erven van Govert Ariens de Jongh voorschreven in eenen eygendom erfflick te hebben en te besitten ende comparant voornoemd verteech daer op en hij geloofde en ende ten waervan ne den boedel van Arien Meertens en borders van sijnen wegh t’onzen lanrecht actum iii martii <1660>[1]

Aeldert Heymensz, buurmeester in Herwijnen, had via zijn vrouw Wijntje Ariens de Jongh een dubbele verwantschap met de familie.
Translated: Aeldert Heymensz, 'buurmeester' in Herwijnen, had a double affinity with the family through his wife Wijntje Ariens de Jongh . [1]
His wife was Wyntje Ariens (Welke de Jonge). A footnote in Gustave Anjou's compilation of Ulster County probate records lists their eight children as follows:[3]
The will of his son-in-law, Henry Pawling, husband of Neeltje, dated 1691, names her brothers Arien Rosa and Gysbert Rosa.[4]
Aldert Heimansse Rosa died on 27 February 1679, just a few days before the baptism on 2 March of his grandson Aldert Rosa. The child's baptism record identifies witness Wielke de Jongh as Aldert's widow and gives his date of death.[5]

There are many Internet genealogies like that one. They can be valuable as resources, but unfortunately we can't rely on them because they are contributed by users (like us) and all too often it isn't possible to determine where the information originated.
That particular page contains extensive information from some colonial New York documents that could be used to expand (and greatly enrich) this man's biography. It appears that the original sources of most of this material are in Documents Relative to the Colonial History of the State of New-York, so they can be found via links on that page and cited in this profile.

Yes, all variant names found for a person in contemporary records definitely should appear in the Biography section -- not as a list of variant names, but rather in descriptions of the individual records for the person.
But it is critically important that all of these names be documented in the Profile Data section because that is the only part of the profile that is searched by WikiTree Name Search. Before variant names were documented this way, we had far more duplicate profiles -- and more frustrated users who couldn't find their ancestors.
Also, please note that we are advised that Dutch people didn't use middle names, so hat data field should be empty. Patronymics are treated as part of the first name.
First Name Spelling of "Albert" = Aldert, Alert, etc. Middle Section of the name "Heymans" = Heymensz, etc. Last Name or Surname "Roosa" = Rosa, Roose, etc. Just a suggestion to clean Name section up at the top
Thanks!
