My Indian (American) Family Stories
A Heritage Journal for Recording the Stories, Recipes, and Wisdom of Your People
The recipes are one thing. The stories behind them are another. This journal holds both.
Someone from an Indian or Indian American family who wants to preserve the stories, recipes, and wisdom of the people who came before them.
The Name It First Experience
Indian families carry centuries of history — in language, in food, in the particular way things are done without ever being explained. This journal is where you record it. The names of places your family came from. The stories that shaped the people who shaped you. The recipes with the instructions that were never written down. The wisdom that was passed along in ways you are still understanding. My Indian (American) Family Stories is a living record — built for the family historian who is ready to start.
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
- What is the Indian American family story that most needs to be written down — the one your household carries but hasn't been fully documented?
- What did your family carry from India — the regional identity, the language, the practices — that the next generation needs to know?
- What do you want the next generation to understand about your family's Indian American story — and the specific heritage your household preserved?
