Create Your Family Genogram Easily Online


Family map three generations

Add people, join partners, hang children from the couple line, then mark the relationships. Father's side on the left, mother's on the right; siblings oldest to youngest. The map saves in this browser as you work.

To keep a map you can reopen and edit on any device, use Save as a file. For a copy to read or share, use Save as PDF. Nothing you draw is sent to this website; it stays on your device.
