Wouldn't it be nice if one's direct ancestor was highlighted or marked somehow among the children. This way one could easily pick out one's grandparent among the aunts and uncles, making it easier to navigate when coming back down one's family tree.

    I would love this feature, as well. It would be so helpful, especially in families where names are similar. --Kim

    Workaround: use "View My Relationship" on the person you're on. That'll tell you which sibling is "yours".

    (Unfortunately, it doesn't work to rescue one from all rabbit holes: if there are too many marriages between you and the person, it says "no relationship".)
