Generation by generation

Generation 1 (oldest)

The top row has 5 people (2 men and 3 women). 2 are marked deceased. The row contains 3 partnerships: 2 married and 1 separated. Between them, 3 sets of parents have 6 children in the next row; the largest sibling group has 2.

Generation 2

The second row holds 7 people (3 men and 4 women). 1 partner marries in from outside the family. 1 couple is drawn here (married). 4 sets of parents account for 9 children one row down; the largest sibling group has 3, and one has a single child.

Generation 3

There are 9 people on the third row (5 men and 4 women). 1 child descends from one set of parents here. Not every link is biological: this row includes 1 adopted child.

Generation 4 (youngest)

The bottom row has 1 person.

Emotional relationships

No emotional relationship lines are drawn, so this genogram works as a structural map of who is related to whom.

Health history

The author shaded medical history into 10 symbols, covering heart disease (4 people), mental health conditions (4 people), ADHD (1 person), anxiety (1 person) and autoimmune disease (1 person). Heart disease and mental health conditions appear 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 5 people of the oldest generation. Squares are males and circles are females; this chart has 11 squares and 11 circles.
  2. 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.
  3. Trace the vertical lines that drop from each couple to their children. 16 people have parents drawn in this genogram; 1 child is 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. 2 people are marked that way here.
  5. Finish at the bottom row, the youngest generation, with 1 person.
