Not myself personally, but my Great Uncle Louie was a barber in the Bronx.
He raised his family in the Bronx......but after World War II, they all spread out to Connecticut and eventually California. His eldest son stayed in Paris France after the war (he married a "war bride" who had been born in Monaco of all places. They raised their 4 children in Paris. One lives in Hawaii now, the others in California. Uncle Louie was my dad's uncle and the "little brother" who at age nine escorted his big sister, my grandmother, on the ship to Ellis Island. Her parents thought she needed a chaperone. She took care of him with the rest of her children, after they were born...........actually, many others in my dad's family lived in The Bronx....and some still do.....Bronx and Brooklyn.
