A reflection on family patterns

Designing Your Genogram

Map three generations of people, relationships, strengths, and patterns. Add only what feels useful—you can keep names private or leave any detail blank.

Your information stays with you. This tool creates the genogram in your browser. It does not send or store the names and details you enter.

1. Name your map

Use names, initials, or roles—whatever feels comfortable.

2. Add people

Start with a few key people. You can return and add more.

Optional patterns, experiences, and notes

3. Create family groups

Group children beneath one or two parents to create proper sibling lines. Parents may be left unshown.

4. Describe relationships

Add emotional qualities separately from the structural family lines.

A genogram is a reflective aid, not a diagnosis or a complete account of a family. Use care when recording sensitive information about other people.
