Restoring files from Time Machine

I use a MBP and it has been upgraded from Yosemite to Mojave. I have old Time Machine backups from the same computer going back to 2018. I can't get Time Machine to go back there. The dates show up on the right - I click on them - nothing happens. I can go back a few days by clicking on the back arrow next to the displayed folder or by clicking on folders in back - but only a few days. The data appears to be in the folders in the disk I use for Time Machine. I have several disks for back-up and the same problem occurs with each. Recommendations? Thank you. David

Hold down the Option key and select "Browse Other Disks…" from the Time Machine menu. Then select the same disk. See if that won't let you go further back in time on that disk.
