Generation by generation
Generation 1 (oldest)
There are 2 people on the top row (1 man and 1 woman). Partner lines join 1 couple (divorced). 3 children descend from 2 sets of parents here; the largest sibling group has 2, and one has a single child.
Generation 2
The second row has 4 people (1 man and 3 women). 1 partner marries in from outside the family. The row contains 1 partnership (separated). One set of parents here has 2 children in the next row. Not every link is biological: this row includes 1 step child.
Generation 3 (youngest)
The bottom row holds 2 people, all female.
Emotional relationships
No emotional relationship lines are drawn, so this genogram works as a structural map of who is related to whom.
How to read this genogram
- Start at the top row: the 2 people of the oldest generation. Squares are males and circles are females; this chart has 2 squares and 6 circles.
- Follow the horizontal lines between partners. There are 2 partner lines, and 2 are crossed by slashes: one slash for a separation, two for a divorce.
- Trace the vertical lines that drop from each couple to their children. 5 people have parents drawn in this genogram; 1 child is linked by a dashed or dotted line for adoption, fostering or step-parenting.
- Finish at the bottom row, the youngest generation, with 2 people.
