It's in the genes!

Just before my husband and I married in 2008, his mom taught me how to cut his hair. It's a skill I'd always wanted to learn so I was excited. Since that day, I've always cut his hair. In fact, I cut it this evening, along with giving our little boy his very first hair cut. That was fun and exciting. I was thinking about my ancestors I've been researching lately and the thought came to me about my great-grandfather, George Campisi, being a barber. He owned his own shop in New York City. I've got the "barber" genes!

So, I was thinking it would be fun to add pictures and things to this site and I was thinking about seeing if by some miracle I could find the barber shop George owned. Wouldn't you know, there's a George's Barber shop in Brooklyn. I'm going to have to call and see if any employees know anything about that shop's history or look into ownership records or something!...
