Do you at least have a selection of possible wallets? If so, you could use something like https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ to generate all addresses and compare with the one you have.

<p>The only way to get your funds is to remember the private key associated with that address or remember your restoration seed associated with a wallet you used.
If you don't remember both, there's no hope to get your btc back(</p>
