How to read this genogram
- Start at the top row: the 3 people of the oldest generation. Squares are males and circles are females; this chart has 31 squares and 18 circles.
- Follow the horizontal lines between partners. There are 15 partner lines, and 1 is crossed by slashes: one slash for a separation, two for a divorce.
- Trace the vertical lines that drop from each couple to their children. 34 people have parents drawn in this genogram.
- Look for an X through a symbol: it marks a person who has died. 6 people are marked that way here.
- The smaller symbols under some couples are pregnancies, not people: 1 small loss symbol for miscarriage, stillbirth or abortion.
- Finish at the bottom row, the youngest generation, with 12 people.
