I don't know when they disappeared or how, but I have one part of one note from 2016 and there were many others that are completely missing.
Someone mentioned this after updating to High Sierra but there was no real solution posted.
I don't know when these disappeared, and I think I have seen them earlier this year.
Apparently they weren't backed up on iCloud.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.12

Recovering Lost Notes:
If you have cut the note, then here is what to try...
A. Start Here: If you're Missing Notes on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
B. Restore from a Backup:
Did your ever back up your iPhone with these installed? If so, back up you could back up your iPhone, and then restore it from the backup.
C. iCloud in Settings: Look in iCloud settings in each device, and make sure that Notes is clicked. If it is, then unclick it, and then click it again.

Thanks! What was odd is that the notes I had taken on a previous my iPad DID show up, not these really important ones on the MacBook.
I did not have Notes clicked on iCloud settings for the MacBook.
So I went to the iPad and did as you suggested there, and VOILA! They all appeared (on both devices).
I do not pretend to understand at all how these things work, and am so grateful to have a community of volunteers to help out when things go wacky on me.
Thank you!
You are welcome.
