How to read this genogram
- Start at the top row: the 4 people of the oldest generation. Squares are males and circles are females; this chart has 13 squares and 11 circles.
- Follow the horizontal lines between partners. There are 4 partner lines.
- Trace the vertical lines that drop from each couple to their children. 19 people have parents drawn in this genogram; 1 child is linked by a dashed or dotted line for adoption, fostering or step-parenting.
- Look for an X through a symbol: it marks a person who has died. 2 people are marked that way here.
- Read the coloured or patterned lines last. They describe how people get along: two parallel lines for close bonds, a dashed line for distant relationships, a red zigzag for hostile relationships and parallel lines with a zigzag for close but hostile relationships.
- Finish at the bottom row, the youngest generation, with 2 people.
