Roots travel doesn’t have to take one very far. While visiting NYC, we had dinner in a Sicilian restaurant which happened to be in the same apartment building that my father-in-law lived in as a child after arriving from Sicily; so special.

I love actor John Lequizamo (fellow Queens peep) and was excited to see that his native roots were found in Columbia. A few years back, John performed a one-man show about the history of Latino Spanish-Native roots and now he has his own genealogical history as an example.

Marriage provides other tangents to one’s greater family ancestry, your spouse’s and children’s’, that lead you to far-flung places in your search for family roots. Five years ago, our family had the wonderful opportunity to explore “our” Sicilian roots; post-Mediterranean cruise for our 30th wedding anniversary. Our MSC cruise commenced and ended in Palermo, Sicily, where our children flew to via London and met us at a street-side café. From there we embarked on visiting the towns where their family roots lay; in Borgetto and Linguaglossa.

I’ve limited the following pictures to when we all met-up in Palermo, Borgetto and Linguaglossa; but we visited so many other beautiful places in Sicily, including Agrigento, Siracusa, Castelmola, and Savoca (where “The Godfather” wedding scenes were filmed).

We dream of going back some day to Sicily, along with visiting other areas of Italy; life there seems simpler and pure!
