52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks 2024: Week 22 (CREATIVITY)
I decided to take a creative approach to this week's prompt.
I began by searching for a name that meant creative that I recognized was in my tree.
I found Isobel "Devoted, creative, independent" 1
My 9th great grandmother, Isobell Robertsone.
The only source we have is the name listed on her daughter's baptism available on Ancestry & Family Search. The trail to X9 great grandmother Isobell is sourced well, but who she was is a mystery to me...
---- even after spending the past few days searching.
Her marriage on January 31st 1668 to X9 great grandfather, Andrew Cowgasse, was added on Family Search without sources or any details.
Their daughter
my X8 great grandmother, Elspeth Cowgasse,
was baptised September 4th 1669
in the parish of Parish of Mains and Strathmartine.
She married, Patrick Kinnier (X8 great grandfather)
June 4th 1695 in the same parish she was baptized in.
Since I could find no details, and have never heard anything about X9 great grandma Isobell, I wondered if she fit for the descriptions?
"Your tendency is to finish whatever you start. You like to use the pen or the needle (writing, fashion design etc). You are loving, compassionate, intuitive and humanitarian. Runs of luck, either good or bad, follow you. You are sympathetic, but at times might be touchy and oversensitive. You may have a gift for writing.You are intuitive and might be interested in the arts, drama or science.
Position and social status is very important for you and you are always looking for way to improve your position in society. You have power and ability to chose your own destiny and achieve anything you want in life. You can expand in any direction according to your will and the set of values. You have passion for justice and belong to the position of authority. You have an inherent courage and endurance to accomplish "The Impossible Dream". With the power comes responsibility. You hold keys to the material world, but with this gift comes high spiritual responsibility to be fair and true to others. You are philosophical and mature, determined and intense with a desire to endure, often religious." 2
It seems I have to engage in more research to discover my devoted, creative, and independent X9 great grandmother Isobell
This is why I search -
Cause ...
You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family you know!
