My Kenyan Family Stories
A Heritage Journal for Recording Your Family's History Before Time Takes It
Every family carries a history. This is how you make sure yours is not lost.
For the Someone from a Kenyan family who wants to record their family's history before time takes it.
The Name It First Experience
Kenyan families carry rich histories — in ethnicity, in language, in the specific stories of particular people and places that shaped who you are. Much of that history is passed through conversation, through elders, through the things that are simply known without being formally recorded. This journal is built to help you capture it. The names. The places. The stories your family has told and the ones they have kept. My Kenyan Family Stories is a record of where your people came from — in your own words.
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 name in your Kenyan family do you most want to record — and what do you know about the person who held it?
- What story from your family's history needs to be written down before time takes it?
- What wisdom, saying, or tradition does your family carry that the next generation should have?
Research basis
