Can I find out what a family member inherited from a deceased relative 11 years ago?
I don’t think there was a Will but I could be wrong.

Assuming there was a probate with respect to the passing of a family member eleven (11) years ago where there was a Will or an intestate proceeding, then there would be a court file in the county and state for that person's estate.
If so, then you can pull the file from archives and review it from the clerk's office. From it you can ascertain who inherited what from that family member's estate.
