Generation by generation
Generation 1 (oldest)
The top row has 6 people (3 men and 3 women). 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 4 people (2 men and 2 women). 1 partner marries in from outside the family. 2 couples are drawn here, all married. One set of parents accounts for 4 children one row down.
Generation 3 (youngest)
There are 6 people on the bottom row (1 man and 4 women). Not every link is biological: this row includes 3 adopted children.
Emotional relationships
Beyond the family structure, the author drew 12 emotional lines touching 6 people: 6 caretaking relationships, 4 close bonds and 2 distant relationships. Of these, 9 stay within one generation and 3 cross between generations.
Health history
The author shaded medical history into 1 symbol, covering substance use (1 person). Each condition stays within a single generation here.
How to read this genogram
- Start at the top row: the 6 people of the oldest generation. Squares are males and circles are females; this chart has 6 squares and 9 circles.
- Follow the horizontal lines between partners. There are 4 partner lines.
- Trace the vertical lines that drop from each couple to their children. 7 people have parents drawn in this genogram; 3 children are linked by a dashed or dotted line for adoption, fostering or step-parenting.
- Read the coloured or patterned lines last. They describe how people get along: a double-headed arrow for caretaking relationships, two parallel lines for close bonds and a dashed line for distant relationships.
- Finish at the bottom row, the youngest generation, with 6 people.
