Problems with setting up Family Sharing - how do I find my current "Family", end it and start a new one?

When I try to set up Family Sharing, Apple claims that my account "is already used for shared purchases in another family". The problem is I can't find any info on this supposed already-existing family. How do I find this "supposed another family" and "cut the ties" so that I would be able to start a "new family"?

If you still have problems:
