More than a family tree
A family tree shows lineage — a genogram shows the relationships
Who’s close, who’s in conflict, who’s been cut off, who was lost — and the patterns that quietly repeat across generations. That’s the part a tree can’t hold
Structure
Generations, partnerships, children, blended and adoptive families — the scaffold of who’s related to whom
Relationships
Close, distant, in conflict, estranged, cut off. The emotional lines are the whole point — and they stay editable as things change
Patterns
Estrangements, roles, health histories, repeated ruptures — shapes that only surface once the whole system is on one page
A living library
Every one of these was built with the tool
Literary families, historical dynasties, clinical cases — real genograms you can open, study, and remix. The best way to understand what a genogram does is to read one

Connect the trees into one map
A Space is a genogram of genograms. Arrange related family trees on one canvas and draw how they connect — bloodlines, marriages, the places that bound them. Trace a whole dynasty, or one tenement across a century, at a glance
