Lost a geocaching name

[+Beege49]

My granddaughter, now 8, started geocaching in January of 2010, and has logged 21 caches. She picked out a name at the time, but then didn't want to log online, even though I signed her up with a basic membership name. She now wants to start logging online, and wants to go back and log those 21 (we have a record of what they were). We have entered her geocaching name every which way we can think of, but can't find it using "Find another player". We know the date she signed up. Is there any way to get her name from geocaching.com?

I would put together an email detailing as much info as possible and send it off to contact@geocaching.com. One of the lackeys might have some powerful magic and might be able to help.

It might be easiest just to re-register with another variation of the name.

I would say that the easiest option I could think of is go to your email inbox and search for the account verification email. If you did not delete it that should work. If you did... next!

I have now done this, thanks. Will let you know if it works!

Couldn't find it, drat!

If she does this, can she still back log the caches she found since Jan, 2010? I agree, it would be easiest!

Did you check your logs for the caches? I know that I put my sons name in my log when he is with me. Maybe you put hers in at the time. Also you might tell us what you think the name might have been.

I'm still looking, but I did see that your grandson went by the name of ganz.

 

Wait... you're not talking about Ocarina Girl, are you? She has 27 finds logged, and was caching with you and Crosspa on Jan 17, 2010.

Found it April 19 by crosspa (902 found)

 

Needing a cache of the day, Beege49 and I picked this one as a good one to bring along our caching granddaughters; Ocarinagirl and naturegirl. They simultaneously spotted the cache and retrieved it. They took the TB and traded swag. We all SL and RAF. Good fun. TFTC!

 

Found it April 19 by Beege49 (1165 found)

 

Everyone but me found this cache, and pretty quickly, too. At least I led them to it with my Droid, whew. TNLN, SL, TFTC!
