You’re welcome. Let us know if you need help with running CounterwalletHelper.py, that’s probably the fastest way to determine whether the address belongs to the wallet you’re using or not.

As I mentioned [above](https://forums.counterparty.io/t/wrong-transaction/1294/19?u=something); the transfer was certainly not from `1F6GFtxyRZJtNcz7bMqRa34TrcsvEakAiJ`.  
That address has [never had any transactions](https://blockchain.info/address/1F6GFtxyRZJtNcz7bMqRa34TrcsvEakAiJ).

`19U6MmLLumsqxXSBMB5FgYXbezgXYC6Gpe` received 1 BTC from `1HNDrAE91ETd6UvmREXMF6BrFQB1oQdqrH`.  
[https://blockchain.info/tx/38d865affc3609d1ab0c6f0e3e29db09e0ab88723676864beb60bf0a5c06e31d](https://blockchain.info/tx/38d865affc3609d1ab0c6f0e3e29db09e0ab88723676864beb60bf0a5c06e31d), as you noted. But that’s not going to help you if the receiving address doesn’t belong to your wallet. And there is no need to investigate the source address either (although it raises eyebrows that you are confused about the sending address as well!).

All you need to do is run CounterpartyHelper.py as explained above, find private key for `19U6MmLLumsqxXSBMB5FgYXbezgXYC6Gpe` and then from Counterwallet sweep that address to import BTC from it (or keep adding regular addresses in Counterwallet until `19U6MmLLumsqxXSBMB5FgYXbezgXYC6Gpe` appears in it).  
If CounterwalletHelper.py doesn’t list `19U6MmLLumsqxXSBMB5FgYXbezgXYC6Gpe` even when you set search depth to 100, then address `19U6MmLLumsqxXSBMB5FgYXbezgXYC6Gpe` does not belong to the wallet you’re using.

Does this block chain make any sense?

If you have another, unrelated question, please create another post.  
I assume this topic is about an address that allegedly disappeared from your wallet (but you cannot prove it despite clear instructions on how to do that).  
If you cannot prove the address belongs to your wallet, this topic can be considered closed.

P.S. There is nothing wrong with that other address’es chain of transactions.
