The Name It First Experience

La historia de tu familia vive en las personas, no siempre en los documentos. Los nombres de los lugares de donde vinieron. Las recetas que se hacen sin receta escrita. Las historias que se cuentan de noche, durante las fiestas, en los momentos en que el pasado aparece sin avisar. Este diario esta hecho para ayudarte a registrar todo eso. Mi Historia Familiar es un archivo vivo de tu familia — construido por ti, para los que vienen despues.

You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.

Sample questions

  1. ¿Cuál es la historia de tu familia que se cuenta en cada reunión — y cuál es la que nunca se cuenta?
  2. ¿De dónde es tu familia — y qué sabes sobre cómo era la vida allí?
  3. ¿Qué receta o tradición de tu familia nunca fue escrita — y quién todavía la guarda?

Choose your pace.

The Essential path takes you to your finished document by the questions that matter most. The Full-depth path walks every question, every scenario, every angle. Both produce the same signed document — one just goes deeper on the way there.

Essential path

Shorter sessions. The questions that go directly to the document.

Full depth

Every question. Every scenario, every angle.

Paper doesn’t change its mind.

Thoughts change. Documents don’t. The answers you write are there when you return — unchanged by memory or mood.

You won’t just feel clearer — you’ll have written proof of what you decided.

Writing is the mechanism by which internal clarity becomes external evidence. Evidence you can return to, share, and hold someone — including yourself — accountable to.

Every question is answerable by everyone.

Every question in every title is answerable by the person for whom the assumed experience is true and by the person for whom it is not. No reader is excluded by how a question is built.
