Default DOH! Cant figure out this ceiling fan wiring!

Your lack of clarity makes this difficult. Given your setup, it sounds like
the wall switch either controlled the fan or the light, and the other was
controlled by pull chain. In your ceiling box you have two cables, one is
feed and the other goes to the wall switch. With a meter find out which is
the feed cable, then connect the white from that cable to the white of the
fan. Connect the black from the feed cable to the white from the switch
cable and to the black from the fan. Connect the last black from the switch
cable to the blue from the fan. Connect any ground wires together. Now the
wall switch will control the light and the pull chain will control the fan.
If you want it controlled opposite, reverse the blue and black fan wire
positions

Ok, I removed my old fan, and *thought* I drew an entire diagram of the
old wiring setup. What I didnt relize until I tried wiring the new fan
was I forgot to draw where the white wires were connected to on the old
fan!

Here is my setup:

From the fan box in ceiling I have (2) sets of wires.

Black/White/Ground and Black/White/Ground. On the old fan, I know that
one of the black wires were connected to the Blue and Black wire on the
fan. I know that the other black wire was connected to the white wire
on the fan. What I dont know is where the other white wires connect to


Any ideas where I should connect the other (2) white wires? I tried
different combinations, nothing worked
