They Walked.

The story of the Ginai family. From East Africa to the world. Preserved forever.

A permanent record, being assembled

This is a living family archive, currently being built. Nothing here is written as history until the family has supplied it — photographs, documents, oral histories and memories are added as they come in.

The archive

Being assembled — photographs, documents and recordings contributed by the family.

January 2027

Six of us retrace family locations in Uganda and Kenya, including Dada Abu's resting place in Tororo.

Recorded, not invented

Where something is not yet known, it is marked as such: family memory, unverified, or not yet recorded.

Ancestor Journey Mode

Retrace the migration, exactly as it happened.

Maps animate. Routes appear. Voices return. A guided passage through the family's recorded movements — pause it, bookmark it, finish it years from now.

The Digital Museum

Everything the family supplies, in one place.

Photographs, letters, diaries, certificates, passports, ledgers, recipes and recordings — catalogued, searchable and safe from the slow disappearance of a shoebox in an attic.
