RABASSA

R A B A S S A





Rabassa is the word in Catalan language that designates the thickest part in a tree (or bush), of where they leave the roots.

Rabassa (o Rabasa o Ravasa or ...) as last name is extended all over the world, although it is supposed that most of its branches come -more or fewer generations before - of Catalunya, Balearic islands, Valencia, Andorra, east of Aragon, west of Italy or south of France.

We wanted to create a world file of all the people here with RABASSA or RABASA or RABBASA or RAVASA etc. as last name, also including names of companies, places, geographical places, etc.

With it, with time and a lot of patience it will be possible to discover unsuspected origins, remote relationships, family roots, to establish genealogical trees and more.

For oriental civilizations, a person that doesn't know the name of his ancestors, a minimum of six generations before, is somebody without roots that doesn't deserve to take the last name he has. For us, in general, and saving honorable exceptions, knowing the name of our great-grandfathers, is already a lot.

Let's go then and begin right now to remember, to ask our adults and to write down all the possible . Every day that goes by, we can forget something, a fact can get lost...

For the creation, in the future, of a database that can be useful to all the RABASSA for their studies, the first thing that we should make is a list of " Rabassas " (current or past) with their most elementary data (like a simple phone guide).

These are the basic data to begin with:
