* ''Literature/WhereAreTheChildren'': Michael and Missy Eldredge had maternal half-siblings, Peter and Lisa Harmon, who were murdered two and four years before they were born (it's been seven years since Peter and Lisa died, while Mike is five years old and Missy is three). Mike and Missy don't know of their older siblings' existence; their mother finds it too painful to tell them (with their father respecting her wishes), not to mention that due to their young age they might tell other people and inadvertently expose that their mother was tried for killing Lisa and Peter.

* ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist2003'' plays with this in regards to Envy -- in this continuity, he's [[spoiler:the CameBackWrong ArtificialHuman of Hohenheim's first child who died centuries ago, making him Edward and Alphonse]]'s older half-brother. While he does have the memories of his original life, homunculi are varying levels of removed from their human identities, as Sloth (who wants to forget ever being the human she was) and Lust (who wants to be human again) show. It's debatable how ''much'' of the original person is left in Envy, or if his original self died with him.
