Newsletter About the Acosta Family
July 2008 issue no. one The Higgins' family history newsletter BERTRAND BLANCHARD ACOSTA (1895-1954) Who is Bert Acosta anyway? by John Higgins Van Horn Ever since I was a little kid, I remember my mother telling me that I was related to Bert Acosta. I always thought that was really cool, but I never knew who he was. I looked for information about him at the library, I asked my teachers if they had heard of him, but I was never successful in finding anything about this wonderful aviator. Its kind of funny, I think that I felt like I was telling people a lie when I would tell them about the great Bert Acosta. I can’t even remember exactly what I told them, other than he flew across the Atlantic shortly after Charles Lindbergh did. I guess I thought it was this made up story that my family passed onto me. Time passed and I guess I forgot about him. Years later, Cisneros, printed on the next few about two years ago, I think I was talking to one pages; there was a museum in the of my cousins, either Christy or Robin, and they United States, the Aviation Hall of told me that this guy, who I understand is Bert Fame & Museum of New Jersey and a (Norberto) Cisneros, who had made contact with museum in France, Musée America them to let them know that they had a long lost Gold Beach.
