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 3 squares and 5 circles.
- Follow the horizontal lines between partners. There are 4 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. 3 people have parents drawn in this genogram.
- The smaller symbols under some couples are pregnancies, not people: 1 triangle for a current pregnancy.
- Read the coloured or patterned lines last. They describe how people get along: a solid green line for harmonious relationships.
- Finish at the bottom row, the youngest generation, with 1 person.
