Generation 2
The second row has 10 people (5 men and 5 women). 3 people joined the family through a partnership, with no parents drawn above them. The row contains 4 partnerships, all married. Between them, 4 sets of parents have 7 children in the next row; the largest sibling group has 4, and three have a single child. Not every link is biological: this row includes 2 foster children.

How to read this genogram
- Start at the top row: the 4 people of the oldest generation. Squares are males and circles are females; this chart has 13 squares and 8 circles.
- Follow the horizontal lines between partners. There are 6 partner lines.
- Trace the vertical lines that drop from each couple to their children. 14 people have parents drawn in this genogram; 2 children are linked by a dashed or dotted line for adoption, fostering or step-parenting.
- Look for an X through a symbol: it marks a person who has died. 2 people are marked that way here.
- The smaller symbols under some couples are pregnancies, not people: 2 small loss symbols for miscarriage, stillbirth or abortion.
- Finish at the bottom row, the youngest generation, with 7 people.
