Searching Ancestors from Ticino, Switzerland
Good evening from the Netherlands. I am looking for an ancestor from the canton of Ticino in Switzerland. I don't really know how to search in Ticino. I have already contacted the Ticino State Archives, and their oldest record is from 1808. My Swiss ancestor is called Antonius Roose in english(i don't know what his name is in Switserland). he died on March 25, 1730 in the Dutch village of Veghel. A date of birth has not been confirmed, but he is believed to have been born between 1665 and 1680 in Ticino. His first wife was Maria Adriaens, who died on February 4, 1720. He then married Maria van Beeck. They were married until his death. He had a son called Josephus Antonius roose in English. He died on 16 October 1794 in the Dutch village of Berlicum. If anyone knows how to search in the canton of Ticino for ancestors or knows the parents of Antonius Roose, please let me know. Kind regards, Storm (name removed)
(I also posted this question in the general questions on the family search platform)

Ticino is not my area of research - so I cannot really help in detail, just some general comments:
Neither Roose nor Rose are Ticino names (Italian speaking region). A Roose family from Germany gained citizenship of Riehen (Basel) in 1895. There are several Rose lines (none in Ticino), mostly immigrants in the 20th century. The only Rose prior to 1900 held citizenship in Vaud (then governed by Bern, i.e. strictly reformed, unlike Ticino). Consequently, if you are looking for a Ticino family you may have to look for another original name. Of course, a family with this name could have lived in Ticino for a limited time period (not very likely in the time frame you are interested in).
Unless someone else steps in here I recommend you contact Società Genealogica della Svizzera Italiana.
