Your heritage, working for you.

Three autonomous agents work around the clock so you never lose another story.

The Archivist

Records oral histories from elders, transcribes and translates stories, tags cultural context — Igbo naming conventions, Yoruba ceremonies, Hausa traditions — automatically.

The Interpreter

Explains cultural significance — why your name means what it means, what your grandmother's dish represents, which festival your family celebrates and why it matters now.

The Keeper

Builds your family archive over time — stories, photos, recipes, names, oral traditions — searchable and organized for every generation that follows.

Discovering Nigerian cultural heritage

Not just a family tree. A living culture.

Existing tools were built for Western genealogies. They don't understand Igbo village structures, Yoruba oriki praise-poems, or why your Hausa grandmother's hands tell a story. HeritagePath does.

  • Cultural tags native to Igbo, Yoruba, and Hausa traditions
  • Oral history transcription with dialect recognition
  • Traditional recipe context with ceremonial meaning
  • Naming convention guidance across Nigerian ethnic groups
  • Festival and ceremony tracker with diaspora relevance
Trusted by Nigerian diaspora families

Meet your heritage agent.

HeritagePath agents understand Nigerian family structures — not just names and dates, but the cultural context that makes a family tree meaningful. Watch how it guides research, not just records it.

Clan & lineage modeling Compound family structure Cultural context, not just dates

"I've been trying to piece together my grandfather's village for years. The agent asked about his compound name — something no other service ever mentioned. I finally have a real lead."

"Being Yoruba-American, I always felt caught between two worlds. This helped me understand which side of my family our traditions came from — the agent actually got the compound structure right."

I want to trace my great-grandfather from Onitsha in the 1950s.

Onitsha is rich territory. To trace your great-grandfather properly, I'll need a few details most genealogy services skip.

First — do you know his ichie or clan name? In Onitsha, the clan ( ezumezu ) determines which umunna (extended family compound) he would have belonged to. That's usually the fastest path to records.

Not yet. I only know his name was Chukwuemeka.

That's a strong start — Chukwuemeka is common in the Nri-Ifite cluster. A few follow-up questions:

  • Which village did your family originally come from — Onitsha main town, or one of the outlying villages like Obior, Ogbunike, or Umuenem?
  • Do you know which compound or muo (extended family house) your great-grandfather belonged to? Even a rough idea helps.
My grandmother mentioned "Obi" compound, and the village was Ogbunike.

Obi compound in Ogbunike — that's a strong lead. In Ogbunike, Obi compound traces to the Umueze-ala lineage cluster, and there are church baptismal records from the 1940s–60s kept at St. Mary's. I can help you reach out to family elders in the compound to fill in the gaps before they move.

Shall I draft a message template for your family compound?

The stories your ancestors carried across oceans deserve to survive the next generation.
