With Almost little to no information on my paternal side of grandparents, and then their great grandparents, I was just able to add their names. My grandfather died when my dad was 3 years old, and right now my dad is over 75 years old, and since we do not live with him or have communication with him, It was very hard to write anything on the topic. A genogram outperforms a traditional family tree because it is a detailed schematic design that displays the connections, heredity, and behavioral patterns shared by members of a family, as well as how these patterns affect the lives of the family members.
