In the Spotlight

There is a movie I love that I watch every time I get the chance. It's a quirky, funny, sweet little family movie called My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Oh, you've heard of it? Well it has a sequel. I of course haven't had a chance to watch it, until today.  It's just as quirky, funny and sweet as the first one and I love it just as much - which as you know most sequels fail to compare, but this one hit the mark. 

If you haven't seen it, I have to warn you - spoiler alert. You were warned. 

In this movie Gus explores his family history while we watch the future family of Greeks grow and explore their lives. Gus sends away for his documentation that he is a direct descendant of Alexander the Greek.  Ok, I won't give away any more. I promise.

Each of us has a unique story to tell. We may not all be descendants of great Greeks. But what we do have is an ever evolving history. I reflect on this as I watch my oldest daughter become ready to give birth to my first grandchild. Someday, I'll be watching as my grandchildren marry and move on and have kids of their own. *Lord Willing*.  

I hope while you are researching your family tree that you remember to write what is important to you today. Also record your present, and your future for those who come after you so that they may truly recall how you looked at the world. Enjoy what's around you and enjoy your Adventures in Genealogy.
