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