How to create a genogram online with Lucidchart
Determining your goal
Why do you want to create a genogram? What will it be used for? Knowing the purpose of your genogram will make it easier for you to determine the type of information you need to look for.
Gathering information
Compile and organise the results of your research on a person’s family members, their family relationship and their history over two or three generations to incorporate them into your genogram online.
Starting from scratch or selecting a blank template genogram
Customise a template or create your own genogram online by dragging shapes over the work area. The oldest generation is shown at the top of the diagram and the youngest at the bottom. The father is always drawn on the left, while the mother is on the right. The children also follow a pattern, with the eldest being placed in the left-most part and the youngest on the right (in descending order of birth).
Using the right symbols
Genograms use a variety of symbols to represent family members and their relationships with each other. For instance, men and women are portrayed differently, and relationship symbols all have distinct characteristics that make them easily recognisable to professionals.
Sharing your genogram online
Fill in the gaps in your genogram online and make sure it’s accurate before presenting and sharing your work via email or a publication link, or by exporting it to your favourite applications.
