How to read this genogram
- Start at the top row: the 27 people of the oldest generation. Squares are males and circles are females; this chart has 72 squares and 62 circles.
- Follow the horizontal lines between partners. There are 37 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. 94 people have parents drawn in this genogram; 1 child is 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. 61 people are marked that way here.
- The smaller symbols under some couples are pregnancies, not people: 3 small loss symbols for miscarriage, stillbirth or abortion.
- Read the coloured or patterned lines last. They describe how people get along: a broken line that has been rejoined for repaired cutoffs.
- Finish at the bottom row, the youngest generation, with 1 person.
