My Aunt delivered the Cessna family history to the Higginson Book Company and she is their source for the "House of Cessna." As I understand it, and this is purely anecdotal since I have not researched it, a farmer by the name of "Cessna" needed to carve his name on a scythe, and because he could not fit the entire 6 letters on the handle, marked it "Cisne," and that began the spelling separation. Now that I am retired, and my Aunt has decided to send to me her very extensive records,I migh one day discover the truth regarding this matter.
