To remove names from this list:
- From the menu bar, click the down arrow on the right side of the Person link. A drop down menu will appear showing a list of names you’ve recently searched in Family Tree.
- Hoover your cursor over the name you want remove. You will notice that the background behind the name turns a slightly different color and an X appears on the right of the field.
- Click on the X.
- Once you’ve clicked on the X, the name will disappear from your search history list.
