Guysbert Rosa is estimated to have been born ca 1670 or later in Horle|Hurley, Ulster County, Province of New York. Date estimate is based on his recorded marriage in 1695. First marriages generally occurred before age 25 in rural farming communities. It should be noted that Kingston RDC records were sparse for year 1670 with only 4 baptisms found performed by Domine Samuel Drisius, of New York and recorded by William de la Montagne.. This is unlike succeeding years. The early years of the Kingston RDC had spotty domine coverage with insufficient domine staff to cover distant communities like Horle. Alternatively there was record loss.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Gysbert by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Gysbert:
Rosa-334 and Roosa-455 appear to represent the same person because: Same spouse, same children. The 1676 birthdate on Roosa-455 isn't sourced, but I think it's possibly more credible than 1670, given the spacing of the other children in this family.
