Dear Garinda, I am the daughter of the late Barry Bacigalupo and Horrace was/is my late father's Uncle Horrace. My father's parents are Leo and Alice (Wood) Bacigalupo. Leo was one of seven brothers. Horrace was my grandfather's younger brother, and my grandfather Leo and his brothers did own or manage several barber shops. I would be so very interested to read the article about Horrace which you linked to; however the link does not seem to work for me. Is there any way you can help me to find this article? Thank you so very much in advance!! Any other info that anyone can share about my English relatives is so greatly appreciated!

I was born in Canada but when I was 7 years old our family moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. At the age of 20 I married Ensign Byron R. Engh, U.S.N. who was soon to begin flight school training with the U.S. Navy in Florida and Texas. After becoming a pilot, my husband and I have lived in California and raised our family here. My father and his second wife, Alice, also lived in California for many years.

About seven years before my father Barry Bacigalupo passed away, my two brothers and I were very fortunate to be able to travel to England with my father in order to visit my father's beloved Baxenden, Accrington, and many places that he loved when he was growing up. It was a very sentimental and wonderful trip to learn of our family roots and I have many lovely photos taken during that trip. I'm only sorry that I was not able to connect with any of my English or Italian relatives at that time.
