Where have my family trees gone?

I created trees for my adopted family, my birth mother's family, my birth father's family, and for a friend. I used to be able to see a list of all the trees I created and then select the one I wanted to access or work on. Now I cannot find anywhere that lists all those trees.

The only thing I can find is "Contributions" which just lists the over one thousand people contained in ALL of those trees, which is insane.

I was going to make major changes to a couple of the trees but since I can see no possible way of doing that I am just going to delete all my trees and not use FamilySearch any more.

    I think you must be confusing FamilySearch with one of the individual-tree sites. Did you perhaps do those trees in Ancestry? It has a drop-down to choose between trees where you have viewing and/or editing rights.

    FamilySearch is set up nothing like Ancestry: here, there's just one family tree that we all work on together, with the (lofty and distant) goal of having exactly one and only one profile per deceased person. This means that your description of doing separate trees for all of those families simply doesn't make sense here.

    @Soosi I think you may be confusing FamilySearch with Ancestry. Your username is familiar from the discussion boards there.
