Where can I get a free genogram template?

You can build one here for free and export it as a printable PDF or PNG. Because the tool keeps the symbols correct and the layout aligned automatically, it gives you a cleaner result than a blank template you fill in by hand.

Is there a blank genogram template I can print?

Yes — export an empty or partially built genogram to PDF and print it, then finish by hand. Most people find it faster to build the whole thing in the tool and print the finished version.

Do you have a 3-generation genogram template?

Yes. Start with the index person and use the Add parents and Add child shortcuts to lay out three generations in a few clicks — the standard structure for a genogram.

Can I get a genogram template for Word or Google Docs?

Word and Docs lack genogram symbols and keep moving your shapes around, which is why a purpose-built tool is faster. You can still export a PDF or PNG from here and drop it into any document.

Ready-to-use template

Genogram Templates

The assignment is due, the page is blank, and you do not want to spend the first hour drawing squares. The fastest fix lives inside the maker itself: open it and click Load an example family. A finished three-generation genogram drops onto the canvas — grandparents, parents, two kids, the marriage lines already joined. Rename the people to match your own, and you have skipped the part of the work that was never the point.

A three-generation genogram — couples, children, and the emotional lines between them.

Male
Female
Deceased
Index person
Close
Conflict

That is the difference a template should make. Below are three you can load the same way, plus a note on why an editable starter beats a printable you can only fill in by hand.

Pick a structure and start filling it in

Each card loads a built scaffold straight into the maker. The boxes, the marriage lines, and the parent–child connections are already in place — you add names, nudge a person, delete one you do not need, then export a clean PDF or PNG.

Nuclear family

A married couple and two children — the most common starting point. Add names and build outward.

Three generations

Grandparents, parents, and a child in the standard vertical layout. Fill in your own family.

Blended family

A divorced couple with a child, and a parent remarried — shows divorce and remarriage lines.

Which one fits your family

Real families rarely sit neatly inside one shape, so start with the one closest to yours and adjust from there.

Nuclear family — a married couple with two children dropping from the middle of the marriage line. The cleanest place to start, and the easiest to widen later by adding siblings or a second child.
Three generations — grandparents, parents, and a child stacked top to bottom. This is the layout most graders expect, because three generations is the floor at which a pattern can repeat and actually show itself.
Blended family — a divorced couple, a parent remarried, a child carried across. It already draws the divorce and remarriage lines for you, the two that students most often get wrong from a blank page.

Why an editable starter beats a printable

A printed template is frozen the moment it leaves the printer. The second your family does not match its boxes — a third sibling, a remarriage, a grandparent who needs a deceased mark — you are erasing, squeezing a name into a half-inch gap, and redrawing a line that no longer lands where it should. Word and Google Docs are no kinder: they have no genogram symbols, and they nudge every shape out of place the moment you add one.

Loading a starter into the maker keeps the diagram alive. Add a person and the layout makes room. The squares, circles, and connecting lines stay correct on their own, so the notation matches what a supervisor expects without you policing it. When the chart is right, export a PDF that prints clean on standard paper and hands in without an apology.
