How to read this genogram

  1. Start at the top row: the 8 people of the oldest generation. Squares are males and circles are females; this chart has 20 squares and 21 circles.
  2. Follow the horizontal lines between partners. There are 20 partner lines, and 2 are crossed by slashes: one slash for a separation, two for a divorce.
  3. Trace the vertical lines that drop from each couple to their children. 20 people have parents drawn in this genogram.
  4. Look for an X through a symbol: it marks a person who has died. 13 people are marked that way here.
  5. Read the coloured or patterned lines last. They describe how people get along: two parallel lines for close bonds, a solid green line for harmonious relationships and a line broken by a bar for estrangements.
  6. Finish at the bottom row, the youngest generation, with 3 people.
