A family genogram is a visual representation of the family system, which includes patterns in how emotions, communication, and relationships are expressed within a family. The following is an extended family genogram showing the maternal side of the family. It has had a long history of both love and harmony, going as far back as their grandparents, Juan and Tina, to the most recent members. However, on the paternal side, there is an intergenerational pattern of indifference, and violence, beginning with grandfather Magdalino down to his sons. One can study this extended family genogram to understand how genetics play an important role. You can create a similarly detailed family genogram using EdrawMax.
