The Kolache Tradition Pattern Pilot

Every family makes the tradition its own.
A tray of fruit-filled kolaches
Pull up a chair. Bring one family tradition.

Let’s find your kolache story.

The size. The dough. The filling your family swears by, and the word you use for it. Each answer contributes to a playful, experimental comparison with regional and diaspora traditions.

Twenty-seven questions; allow about five minutes. Think of one baker or one family branch throughout. If a detail is uncertain or varied, choose “Not sure / it varied.” No judgment. Okay, minimal judgment.

Free. This is an unvalidated cultural-similarity pilot, not a genetic, genealogical, or geographic test. Old-country tradition profiles and the U.S. diaspora chapter are scored separately. It offers questions to investigate, not proof of ancestry. Outside kiosk mode, question progress is kept only in this tab's browser session so a reload or language switch can resume it; it is not saved to persistent local storage.
