Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum

I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

I am a little confused ...

Question:

Are you referring to, not 'seeing' yourself, in the Principal position, in the "Pedigree" View?

Or,

Question:

By Chance, 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,

Question:

Somewhere else?

Please advise.

'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.

Question:

WHY do "Moderators", ADD a 'Comment'; and, then, mark their 'Comment'; as, an "Accepted Answer".

That should NOT be, done; or, allowed, under any circumstances.
