The top row has 4 people (2 men and 2 women). 3 are marked deceased. The row contains 2 partnerships, all married. Between them, 2 sets of parents have 3 children in the next row; the largest sibling group has 2, and one has a single child.
Generation 2
The second row holds 5 people (1 man and 4 women). 2 people joined the family through a partnership, with no parents drawn above them. 3 couples are drawn here, all unmarried partners. 2 sets of parents account for 2 children one row down, one child each.
Generation 3 (youngest)
There are 2 people on the bottom row (1 man and 1 woman).

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 4 squares and 7 circles.
- Follow the horizontal lines between partners. There are 5 partner lines.
- Trace the vertical lines that drop from each couple to their children. 5 people have parents drawn in this genogram.
- Look for an X through a symbol: it marks a person who has died. 3 people are marked that way here.
- Read the coloured or patterned lines last. They describe how people get along: three parallel lines for fused (enmeshed) relationships and a red zigzag for hostile relationships.
- Finish at the bottom row, the youngest generation, with 2 people.
