Many health conditions tend to run in fami lies. This reoccurrence is thought to be due to a combination of genetics\ , the environment\, and personal lifestyle. A genogram is a detailed &ldqu o\;family medical history pedigree&rdquo\; which can help track these dise ases through multiple generations. This program will discuss how a genogra m is constructed\, highlight the types of genealogical records that may co ntain your ancestor&rsquo\;s vital health information\, explore archaic (a nd sometimes funny) medical terminology from past centuries\, and offer in sights on how to approach living family members about their medical histor y.
