A paternal side genogram is a graphical representation of a family tree that maps out the relationships and dynamics between extended family members. The paternal side genogram often consists of symbols that represent the members on the paternal side of the tree, which are connected by lines to indicate their relationships. It typically provides information such as ages, health conditions, and other notes about any particular branch of a family line. It typically focuses on the father’s side of the family but can include other branches as well. Illustrating complicated kinship systems is an effective way to visualize how past generations have affected present generations and how the present generations are affected by both near and distant relatives.
