Hi
I  have
Richard Shays Driver Cossar cx February 14 1770 in Haddington

Ratchel Aitcheson Jan 7 1799 in Haddington
4 children known
Rachel cx 1799 Haddington
Thomas cx 1802 Haddington
James cx 1804 Haddington
Ratchal cx 1806 Haddington

Thomas married Catherine Carstairs May 13 1819 Inveresk
6 children known
Female cx Nov 1819 Inveresk
Margaret  b.abt 1820 Inveresk
Archibald cx Aug 1824 Inveresk
William cx Oct 1827 Inveresk
John abt 1832
John abt 1834

There are lots of possibles in the IGI etc that I cant find a definite link for before Richard.

My wife's line is descended through Archibald and spreads out to Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Argyllshire

Good Day!

I have just started on my journey in search of my "Cossar" heritage.  My maiden name/family name.  My great grandfather's given name George, family name Cossar  (George Cossar) from Edinburgh, Scotland, birthed  2 children, one male and one female.  At some point in time (which i am in the process of finding out) moved to the United State and both children reside there presently.   I was thrilled to see "cossar " as I am interested in the search for all family members and obtaining history so I can pass the richness of culture and family history down to my children.


Regards,

Tracy C.
