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.

I should do this before I go back to therapy. 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)...

Thanks for sharing the QUILTBAG set! I wish I'd found it when I was doing my own genogram last semester. There was a *lot* of make-do and make-it-up-as-you go in that one. My own committed queer-platonic relationship with my agender partner was especially difficult to chart.
