What does your family's kolache say about where you're from?
The size. The dough. The filling your family swears by, and the word you use for it. Every choice is a clue to the village your people left behind. Twenty-six questions, three minutes, and a result worth arguing about at the next family gathering.
Trace my kolache
Wait, is this real?
Surprisingly, yes. Kolache styles genuinely differ by region of the old country. Wallachia's plate-sized, single-filling frgál is legally protected. Chodsko decorates in mosaics. Moravian weddings demand tiny closed koláčky by the hundred. Your family kept those habits without knowing it. We read them.
And we will be straight with you: the kolache narrows it to a region. The records confirm the village. That part is our day job.
How it works
Answer 26 questions about how your family really makes them. No judgment. Okay, minimal judgment. You get your Kolache DNA: the regions of Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia your tradition points to, your kolache archetype, and a shareable card. Then, if you want the full story, our genealogists take it from pastry to paper trail.
