Hi Ian,
The system is set up to default on your name. If you select recents, the first name that appears after your name is the last name you were working on. Hope this answers your question.

I use the RECENTS list that Brett discusses all the time - thats how I get back to the last person I was working on.

When I sign in, I am brought to a home page. In the right hand column there is a box labeled Recent People. You should see the last people you viewed in that box.

'Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' is NOT set-up to work that way.

There are a couple of possible 'Work Arounds' ...

(1) "Recents"

You would have to constantly "Clear" the OLD and unnecessary "Bookmarks" frequently.

I hope this helps.

If you want to always start with the same person for an extended length of time, you can change the default person that appears at the root of your family tree in the family search.org Settings area:
