Blank Genogram Template
What This Template Shows
A two-generation structure with no structural lines, relationship lines, health markers and no emotional overlays pre-drawn.
This is the template to start from when you already know the family structure and want to draw it your way from the beginning, or when you're printing it out and filling it in by hand during a session.
One thing to note: because nothing is pre-configured, there's no built-in guidance on how to connect people or what to add where.
If you need a starting point with structure already in place, the 3-Generation Genogram Template or Simple Genogram Template will be more useful.
The symbol legend is also displayed below the diagram. For a full reference, see Genogram Symbols Explained.
When to Use This Template
- Printing and filling in by hand: download as PDF, print, and complete during a session or assessment without needing a device.
- Building from scratch in EasyGenogram: use the blank canvas as a starting point when the family structure is already known and you want to configure every element yourself rather than edit a pre-built layout.
- Student assignments with specific requirements: when the assignment specifies a particular structure, notation style, or layout that a pre-built template would constrain.
- Training and practice: when a trainee is learning genogram notation and needs a blank structure to practice building without an existing diagram to follow.

FAQ
Is this blank genogram template free?
Yes, open and fill it in EasyGenogram at no cost. Export requires a subscription for most users; students with a valid school email can export free.
Can I print this blank genogram template?
Yes. Click the PDF or PNG button under the embed to download, then print at any size. The blank structure and symbol legend print clearly.
What is a fill-in-the-blank genogram?
A fill-in-the-blank genogram is a pre-built structure with shapes and layout already in place; you add the names, relationship lines, health markers, and other details yourself. This blank template takes that one step further: the shapes are positioned but nothing else is pre-committed, so you fill in everything including the relationship lines.
Can I use this blank genogram template in Word?
Open the template in EasyGenogram, fill in your family's details, export as PNG, and insert it into your Word document.
What is the difference between a blank genogram template and a fillable genogram template?
A blank genogram template has the shapes positioned but no relationship lines, health markers, or emotional overlays pre-drawn; you configure everything yourself. A fillable template has the full structure already in place; you populate it with names and details with or without changing the layout.
