Generation by generation

Generation 1 (oldest)

The top row has 6 people (2 men and 4 women). 2 are marked deceased. The row contains 2 partnerships, all married. Between them, 4 sets of parents have 4 children in the next row, one child each.

Generation 2

The second row holds 2 people (1 man and 1 woman). 1 of them has died, shown with an X. 1 couple is drawn here (married). One set of parents accounts for 2 children one row down.

Generation 3 (youngest)

There are 4 people on the bottom row (1 man and 3 women).

Emotional relationships

Beyond the family structure, the author drew 4 emotional lines touching 5 people: 2 close bonds and 2 estrangements. Of these, 3 stay within one generation and 1 crosses between generations.

Health history

The author shaded medical history into 5 symbols, covering respiratory illness (2 people), cancer (1 person), genetic conditions (1 person) and heart disease (1 person). Respiratory illness appears 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 6 people of the oldest generation. Squares are males and circles are females; this chart has 4 squares and 8 circles.
  2. Follow the horizontal lines between partners. There are 3 partner lines.
  3. Trace the vertical lines that drop from each couple to their children. 6 people have parents drawn in this genogram.
  4. Look for an X through a symbol: it marks a person who has died. 3 people are marked that way here.
  5. Read the coloured or patterned lines last. They describe how people get along: two parallel lines for close bonds and a line broken by a bar for estrangements.
  6. Finish at the bottom row, the youngest generation, with 4 people.
