3 Generation Genogram

A three-generation genogram shows grandparents on the top row, their children (your parents, aunts and uncles) in the middle, and the youngest generation at the bottom, usually including the identified patient. It is the standard scope for family-of-origin assignments and clinical assessments.

What to include in each generation

  • Grandparents: both sides, living or deceased, with birth and death years and major health conditions.
  • Parents’ generation: your parents and all their siblings, their partners, marriages, separations and divorces.
  • Your generation: you (marked as the identified patient), your siblings in birth order, and any pregnancies or losses.

A worked example

The case below is a fuller three-generation genogram: a grandfather who died in 2015, diabetes on the maternal side, parents who divorced in 2012, and the identified patient’s close and conflicted relationships.

How to make one in minutes

  1. Open the three-generation template or describe the family in a few sentences and let AI draft it.
  2. Fill in names or initials and years.
  3. Add marriages, divorces and health conditions.
  4. Draw the relationship lines your notes support, then export with the key.
