Peter and Gayann Barbella are avid genealogists. Both retired, they reside in New England with fifteen of their seventeen descendants. Peter is thoroughbred Italian, and Gayann is a half breed, Italian and an esoteric mixture of English, Irish, and Dutch which gives her membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution and Descendants of the Mayflower. Besides genealogy, they enjoy music, theater golf, and a hideaway on Cape Cod.
