    By any chance, could you have two FamilySearch accounts? We have found that sometimes users/guests will inadvertently open a second account, especially if they have had trouble signing into their account. The new second account will begin with only their name while their old account will show their family lines they have been working on.

    If you believe this maybe the case, please call us at 1-866-406-1830 and we will hopefully be able to help you recover your username and reset your password for your original account This number is for United States and Canada. If you would be calling from somewhere else in the world, please click on the Help Center Icon above (the circle with the question mark in it) , click on contact us, and the scroll down to the country you would be calling from.

    Hopefully this will help answer your question.

    PasB, Thanks, that is what had happened. For some reason, my login via a password manager, defaulted to an old account that had never been used. I have now deleted it in FamilySearch and my password manager.

    I now have only one account.
