    This is by design: FamilySearch protects the privacy of living people by making their profiles only visible to the user who entered them. Your daughter will need to enter a new profile for you, and connect to the shared tree with your deceased relatives.

    Since only she will be able to see or do anything with the profile she makes for you, it's plenty for it to just have your name -- or even just your relationship, such as "Mom". Ditto for any other living family you or she enter, and there's little or no point in entering unmarried and childless siblings, since they don't connect to anyone different.
