Hi, I am a COSSAR decendent living in New Zealand.
Copae/er is sometimes the translation from the old english COFsar..this on some censuses and also on legal documents. Cossar is correct Cosser sometimes as there were no rules of spelling once upon a time
 I would like to make contact with you please Sandi/Sandra? Is that OK with you.

Walter Cossar is definitely a family name and comes down our lines as well...
My sister had a Scots Research done in the mid1970s and it goes back a few generations via the OPR Old Parish Registers. Our families in Berwickshire/Scottish Borders were tenant Farmers and horse dealers. I am trying to find out what happened to an Agnes Cossar born to Mark Cossar from Greenknowe Farm Duns (Dunse)
