( Apologies in advance for the long question .) I ' m having trouble figuring out how to arrange part of a family tree while following genogram rules . The situation : - 1st-born has 2 girls (A & B)
- 2nd-born has 2 boys (C & D)
- A weds E (unrelated), then D (cousin)
- C weds F (unrelated), then A (cousin)
I ' ve drawn up several possible solutions , and all of them have problems . See the image below : TREE 1 . Genogram rule # 1 ( husband left / wife right ) isn ' t easily doable for the cousin spouses , because the fathers follow rule # 4 ( siblings left - to - right by age ). I positioned the non - related spouses correctly though . PROBLEM : Can ' t decipher marriage orders for A & amp ; C , as spouses bracket them , rather than being in order to one side . TREE 2 . I simply added number labels to the previous tree for clarification . PROBLEM : I tend to put marriage age here , if I have it , so the spot ' s not always free . TREE 3 . Everyone positioned as in previous two trees , but I ' ve tiered the marriage lines to show order . PROBLEM : It seems space - wasty ? But decipherable , I guess . TREE 4 . Reverse rule # 1 , just for the cousins and their spouses ( i . e . put wives at left ). PROBLEM : The inconsistency bothers me . All other wives are on right . But it works . TREE 5 . Ignore genogram rule # 4 ( sibling order ) for the fathers instead . PROBLEM : Again , it works , but the inconsistency bugs me . TREE 6 . Just for amusement ' s sake , I followed all rules ( wife at right , birth order , spouses in order ). PROBLEM : Such a mess ! I had to , like , loop - de - loop the older daughter , and do a lot of line - crossing . So ! I guess my question is , which of the above trees ( or none , I suppose ) is most correct , following genogram rules . ( And common sense rules . Because tree 6 . Urgh .) ( ETA : Have I even posted this in the right place? Not sure it ' s a ' technical support question '? Sorry if not . Feel free to delete and I ' ll repost ... somewhere else .)
