Marie: Thanks! When I started poking around, I saw lots of software available too. Very cool. Brings back fond memories of a summer spent coding family data on ovarian and breast cancer.

Great choice of diagrams! There are many tools out there for family health history diagrams, including one from the Genetic Alliance and another from the Utah Department of Health.

For those intimidated by the number of symbols available, the NIH site offers a relatively simple family health history module where the results store on your own computer. Although you lose the availability of predictions and comparisons to genetic databases, you keep the information private.
