Generation by generation

Generation 1 (oldest)

The top row has 4 people (2 men and 2 women). All of them are marked deceased. The row contains 2 partnerships, all married. Between them, 2 sets of parents have 12 children in the next row; the largest sibling group has 6.

Generation 2

The second row holds 22 people (11 men and 11 women). 10 people joined the family through a partnership, with no parents drawn above them. 11 couples are drawn here, all married. 10 sets of parents account for 22 children one row down; the largest sibling group has 3, and two have a single child.

Generation 3 (youngest)

There are 22 people on the bottom row (11 men and 11 women). Not every link is biological: this row includes 2 adopted children.

Emotional relationships

Beyond the family structure, the author drew 11 emotional lines touching 11 people: 5 caretaking relationships, 2 fused (enmeshed) relationships, 2 fused and conflicted relationships, 1 distant relationship and 1 one-way focus line. Of these, 3 stay within one generation and 8 cross between generations.

How to read this genogram

  1. Start at the top row: the 4 people of the oldest generation. Squares are males and circles are females; this chart has 24 squares and 24 circles.
  2. Follow the horizontal lines between partners. There are 13 partner lines.
  3. Trace the vertical lines that drop from each couple to their children. 34 people have parents drawn in this genogram; 2 children are 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. 4 people are marked that way here.
  5. Read the coloured or patterned lines last. They describe how people get along: a double-headed arrow for caretaking relationships, three parallel lines for fused (enmeshed) relationships, three lines with a zigzag for fused and conflicted relationships and a dashed line for distant relationships.
  6. Finish at the bottom row, the youngest generation, with 22 people.
