Genogram Symbols

A genogram, like an egomap, uses geometric symbols to mark relationships between people. A handful of symbols cover the most common relationships. But there are a LOT more, and for some people, skipping those is incomplete to the point of misleading or abusive.
This is a basic set with a few useful additions.
This one is more multicultural.
Here is an extensive QUILTBAG set.
There's a lot of overlap but they don't use all the exact same symbols. That's okay. What matters is finding a way to diagram the relationships that are useful in a given context. That can vary because these things are used in psychotherapy, genetic counseling, genealogy, sociology, linguistics, and so on.

There are WAY too many moving parts here, and the blood kin on my side have jack-all to do with the whole rest of it, and the co-parents, while affecting the kids, have jack-all to do with the rest of the 'ohana both formally declared (and in the wedding pictures) and not (but just as important)...
Well ...
