About the Multi-Faith Family Genogram
This multi-faith family genogram uses a simple color legend to show Christian, Jewish, and atheist identities across four generations of one family.
The example contains 11 people. The first row shows paternal and maternal grandparents. The next generations include the father, mother, aunt, focus person, spouse, brother, and daughter, giving users a compact view of belief identity across both sides of the family.
Pink represents Christian identity, blue represents Jewish identity, and pale yellow represents atheist identity. The paternal branch is shown as Christian, while the maternal branch introduces Jewish and atheist identities. In the next generation, the focus person is represented as atheist, their spouse as Christian, their brother as Jewish, and their daughter as Christian.
- Maps 11 relatives across four generational rows
- Includes three belief identities in one family view
- Brings faith and nonreligious perspectives into the same visual framework
- Creates space for practices, values, rituals, transitions, and spiritual influences
