    Juanita

    Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum

    Question:

    Are you referring to, not 'seeing' yourself, in the Principal position, in the "Pedigree" View? Or, have you "Changed", the Family Tree Starting Person, in your "Settings", in 'FamilySearch'

    ie. Settings ---> (FIRST, Default) Account 'Tab' ---> (Down bottom) "Family Tree Preferences"

    Family Tree Starting Person

    The default person that appears at the root of your Family Tree.

    Or, somewhere else?

    Please advise.

    Juanita

    'Yes', that definitely appears to be YOU.

    Lets see ...

    First thing ...

    Go to the "ChangeLog" [ ie. https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/changelog/[PID] ]

    You can get there by either,

    (1) Using that URL, with the 'FamilySearch Person Identifier' (PID) at the end; or,

    (2) Go to "Latest Changes", down to the bottom of that Section; and, select "Show ALL"

    When you are in the "ChangeLog", go right down to the bottom.

    You are 'looking' for, "Vital Added"; and, that being the FIRST time that the 'Vital' of "Name" appears.

    Question: WHO is that "Name"? ... Is that YOU?

    IF, that is NOT You; THEN, WHO is it?

    IF, it is you; THEN, at some stage, you must have "Change" the "Name", to the OTHER individual/person?

    IF, it is NOT You; THEN, are you using ANOTHER User's/Patron's 'FamilySearch' Account (eg. Family member)?

    Please advise.
