Did your previous /home partition reside in the same partition as / (root)?

If not, perhaps you could check with GParted or Disk Utility if your
previous root partition is still there or somehow was overwritten by
the installer.

If it still there, sudo update-grub should find it, so it shows in the
next boot.
