I am guessing that the OP has a piece on landlocked property that he/she inherited and could not do anything with it because it was landlocked. I suspect that the "other family" are other people who also inherited from the same deceased person. I suspect that someone researched past deeds and found the easement in question.
However, until the OP comes back and answers the questions that have been asked, my guess is merely a guess. Either the OP doesn't realize how active this forum is, or the OP is never coming back at all.
