It isn't going back to the home directory - some of the files that were lost WERE home directories. Just cd down to discover which ones were lost (do pwd to double check were you are).

When you ran fsck was it with the -y option?
If not, did you answer yes to all the questions?

Do you have a good backup? I don't know of a faster way to get the directories and files back then that unless you cd down to each home directory and move it back where it belongs. First you want to double check your hardware to insure you are not going to put them back on a bad disk.
