Generation by generation

Generation 1 (oldest)

The top row has 4 people (2 men and 2 women). All of them are marked deceased. The row contains 2 partnerships: 1 married and 1 unmarried. Between them, 2 sets of parents have 11 children in the next row; the largest sibling group has 6.

Generation 2

The second row holds 11 people (3 men and 8 women). 2 of them have died, shown with an X. 1 couple is drawn here (unmarried partners). One set of parents accounts for 7 children one row down.

Generation 3

There are 13 people on the third row (6 men and 7 women). 6 partners marry in from outside the family. Partner lines join 6 couples: 2 married and 4 unmarried. 16 children descend from 6 sets of parents here; the largest sibling group has 4, and one has a single child.

Generation 4 (youngest)

The bottom row has 16 people (9 men and 7 women). Not every link is biological: this row includes 3 step children.

Emotional relationships

The author did not add emotional relationship lines; the chart shows family structure only.

Health history

The author shaded medical history into 8 symbols, covering heart disease (7 people), genetic conditions (4 people), diabetes (2 people) and reproductive health issues (1 person). Heart disease appears in more than one generation, the kind of repeating pattern a genogram is drawn to show.

How to read this genogram

  1. Start at the top row: the 4 people of the oldest generation. Squares are males and circles are females; this chart has 20 squares and 24 circles.
  2. Follow the horizontal lines between partners. There are 9 partner lines.
  3. Trace the vertical lines that drop from each couple to their children. 34 people have parents drawn in this genogram; 3 children are linked by a dashed or dotted line for adoption, fostering or step-parenting.
  4. Look for an X through a symbol: it marks a person who has died. 6 people are marked that way here.
  5. Finish at the bottom row, the youngest generation, with 16 people.
