How to read this genogram
- Start at the top row: the 2 people of the oldest generation. Squares are males and circles are females; this chart has 9 squares and 7 circles.
- Follow the horizontal lines between partners. There are 8 partner lines, and 6 are crossed by slashes: one slash for a separation, two for a divorce.
- Trace the vertical lines that drop from each couple to their children. 7 people have parents drawn in this genogram.
- Look for an X through a symbol: it marks a person who has died. 2 people are marked that way here.
